The body of a 7-year-old boy missing after the ferry-Navy craft collision off Mumbai coast was found on Saturday morning, taking the death toll in the December 18 tragedy to 15, officials said.

The search operation, however, would continue till the ferry boat is made upright and it is confirmed that there is no unaccounted body left, said a Navy official.

Naval boats found the body of Johan Mohammad Nisar Ahmed Pathan in the Mumbai harbour area after three days of search. The Navy has already launched a probe into the crash, one of the deadliest in the city's harbour area.

A naval helicopter and boats of the Navy and Coast Guard were deployed to look for the missing passengers.
