The bodies of two French fishermen who went missing when their trawler sank in the English Channel have been found, according to French prosecutors.
The Maranello sank off the coast of Plymouth on 29 August after the crew reported problems with the fishing gear. Three of the five crew members were rescued by a nearby vessel.
A major search involving HM Coastguard, RNLI lifeboats and French authorities was suspended after two days.
Alex Dehays, deputy prosecutor in Saint-Brieuc, said divers found and recovered the bodies on Saturday once weather conditions allowed searches to resume.
The five-man crew sent a distress call at about 18:00 BST on 29 August. A nearby fishing vessel, the Stradale, rescued three crew members before the Maranello sank.
The search for the missing fishermen involved UK and French rescue teams in waters south-west of the Eddystone Lighthouse, off Plymouth. Poor weather had delayed dives to the vessel after it was found.
