YUZHNO-SAKHALINSK, October 15 (RIA Novosti) - Rescuers have found the body of the last of five crew members of a barge that went missing off Sakhalin's coast in Russia's Far East, a local emergencies spokeswoman said Monday.

"Rescuers found the man's body in the sea 300 meters from the village of Rybnoye," she said.

The Kvartz self-propelled barge, loaded with frozen fish, was en route from the port of Okhotsk to the town of Vanino in the Khabarovsk Region, when it sent out a distress call on October 2.

The bodies of the other four sailors and the sunken vessel were discovered on October 3.
