TOKYO—A crew member who was recovered from the ocean after a U.S. military Osprey aircraft carrying six people crashed Wednesday off southern Japan has been pronounced dead, Coast Guard officials said.
The cause of the crash and the status of the five others on the aircraft were not immediately known, Coast Guard spokesperson Kazuo Ogawa said. Initial reports said the aircraft was carrying eight people, but the U.S. military later revised the number to six, he said.
