Rescue workers say they have retrieved another nine bodies from a boat that capsized in northern Brazil, raising the death toll on Wednesday to 41 in one of the worst accidents in decades along the Amazon river system.
Rescuers expect to find still more bodies, said Deputy Fire Commander Col. Carlos Bacelar. Sixty passengers are known to have survived Sunday's accident on the Solimoes River, one of the Amazon's largest tributaries. (AP)
