Rescue workers continue to search for remains of last missing passenger in Nepal's deadly plane crash
The plane was carrying 72 people when it crashed near the tourist city of Pokhara on Sunday morning.
"There is no possibility of finding any survivor. We have collected 71 bodies so far. The search for the last one will continue," Tek Bahadur K.C., a top district official in Pokhara, said on Wednesday. "Until the hospital tests show all 72 bodies, we’ll continue to search for the last person," Ajay K.C said.
Teams had diverted the flow of a nearby river to look for bodies, said Gurudutt Ghimire, another official who is part of search operations.
