Japan crew search again, Second survivor rescued after cargo ship with two Australians.
Japan's coast guard has rescued a second survivor in waters where a ship carrying thousands of cows from New Zealand is believed to have sunk during stormy weather, officials said.
Hours earlier, an unconscious crew member was also recovered but later died.
Two Australians are among those still missing: William Mainprize of NSW and Queensland vet Lukas Orda.
The survivor found overnight, Jay-nel Rosals, a Filipino deckhand, was wearing a life jacket and floating in a raft north of Amami Oshima island in the East China Sea, where rescuers have been searching for the Gulf Livestock 1 ship and its missing crew since it sent a distress signal early Wednesday.
Coast guard rescuers earlier on Friday found an unconscious man who was floating face down about 120km northwest of the island.
The man, whose identity was unknown, was taken to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead, said Takahiro Yamada, a spokesman for the regional coast guard headquarters.
