Two more bodies have been recovered near the scene of the TransAsia air crash in Taipei, taking the number known to have died in the disaster to 42.
One person is still unaccounted for.
Aviation officials said the bodies of the two victims, one from Taiwan and the other from the mainland, were found in the water under the Nanhu Bridge, about 600 metres from the crash site.
Relatives of the last missing person, a mainland tourist, urged rescuers yesterday not to give up efforts to find his body so it could be taken home for burial.
A diver, Chung Lu-chi, died of a ruptured aneurysm on Tuesday, apparently due to the long hours he spent searching in the cold waters, the Taipei Fire Department said.
