A South Korean man was found dead Wednesday on a Filipino island, three days after he went missing, the Foreign Ministry said.

The 45-year-old, only identified by his surname Heo, was on a dive tour to Cebu along with two other South Koreans.

The two, a 37-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman, were rescued near Camotes Island on Tuesday, according to the ministry.

"The body was found on the beach of Camotes Island early Wednesday morning," the ministry said.

A ministry official said it was apparently an accident and not related to any crime such as kidnapping. (Yonhap)
