The body was found by a passing ship and is being transported to the port of Mytilene.
Under adverse weather conditions searches continue in the sea area southwest of Lesvos, to locate the sailors of the cargo ship RAPTOR with the Comoros flag that sank under so far unclear circumstances.
An Air Force helicopter located and rescued an Egyptian naval crew member who was taken to Mytilini hospital.
A total of 8 parasailing vessels, a Navy frigate and a helicopter are involved in the investigation.
The RAPTOR had a total of 14 crew members (One Indian, eleven Egyptians and two Syrians) and was transporting salt from Egypt to Istanbul.
The master of the bulk carrier had initially declared a mechanical failure and then a slight list of the ship.
Activated the mayday distress signal to passing vessels but the RAPTOR was lost to radar.
According to estimates, due to the strong waves in the sea area, the ship probably took water in its holds, displacing the cargo.
