Japanese rescuers found a second crew member and multiple dead cows Friday in waters where a livestock ship capsized and is believed to have sunk during stormy weather, coast guard officials said. The man, whose nationality and crew status is unknown, was taken to a hospital but later pronounced dead, said Takahiro Yamada, a senior spokesman for the regional coast guard headquarters. The 11,947-ton ship, its 43 crew and 5,800 cows left New Zealand in mid-August heading to Tangshan on China’s eastern coast.
