News - Body of fisherman recovered from the sea

Penang, Malaysia. The decomposed body fished out from the sea off the Pulau Betong coast in Penang on Thursday is said to be that of fisherman Lee Kim Lay, 56, who was swept off the beach in Gertak Sanggul when the tsunami struck on Dec 26.



Lee's body was so decomposed that only the head and the spine were intact. His wife believed that the body could be that of the husband's based on the gaps found between his teeth.



A police spokesman said DNA samples had been obtained from Lee's son for comparison.



Four people are still reported missing.
