SEOUL, April 16 (Yonhap) -- An anti-submarine helicopter apparently crashed while patrolling waters off South Korea's southwest coast, leaving one dead and three others missing, officials said Friday.
The "Lynx" helicopter is believed to have gone down around 9 p.m. Thursday in waters about 14.5 kilometers off the island of Jindo, as it disappeared from radar after losing contact with its command while on a patrolling mission, military and coast guard officials said.
One of the four people aboard the Navy aircraft, Lt. Kwon Dae-ha, was found dead, and the others remain missing.
Naval and coast guard vessels are scouring the area for the missing and the wreckage.
