The bodies of a Burbank man and his nephew lost at sea for more
than a week have report- edly been found after washing ashore. Hyong
Kim, 46, of Burbank, and Dae Kyu Kim, 35, of Los Angeles, were
reported lost last week when their boat was found abandoned off
Huntington Beach.
They left Nov. 24 to go fishing south of Long Beach but never
returned, Coast Guard Petty Officer Louis Hebert said.
Rescue groups including the Coast Guard, the Costa Mesa and
Huntington Beach police departments and Bolsa Chica lifeguards
started their search for the men that night but called it off 25
hours later after scouring 1,400 square miles.
Lifeguards reportedly found Dae Kim's body Monday near the
Huntington Beach Pier. His uncle's body was found Tuesday near Bolsa
Chica State Beach.
The Orange County Coroner's Office is still investigating the
cause of death. Sea conditions were fair the afternoon they
disappeared.
