The body of the last missing Bulgarian sailor, who was aboard Vanessa cargo vessel that shipwrecked in the Sea of Azov, washed ashore on Wednesday.

Immediate reports claim the body discovered belongs to the mechanic Georgi Dimitrov.

Other eight maritime officials, missing for more than two months now, including the only Ukrainian sailor aboard, were found last week.

Vanessa shipwrecked on January 3 with 11 crewmembers on board. Ukrainian rescuers recovered the bodies of Petko Momchev and Georgi Zhelev days after the targedy, while the only survivor is Nikolay Dimitrov. The mechanic was rescued after spending 10 hours in the ice-cold waters.

The reasons for the shipwreck are still under investigation that will last for at least two more months.
