Beijing, Sha'ban 20, 1436, Jun 7, 2015, SPA -- Rescuers have recovered most of the bodies from a cruise ship that sank in the Yangtze River last week, Chinese state media reported Sunday. The death toll rose to 432 Sunday evening as investigators continued their investigations, which were only made possible after salvage workers using two large cranes righted the capsized vessel Friday, dpa quoted China Central Television as reporting. Rescuers did not find any more survivors inside. Fourteen people were rescued shortly after the June 1 accident, but hopes of finding more people alive have faded since, leaving a likely total death toll of 442. --SPA 21:17 LOCAL TIME 18:17 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
