The corpse of a very thin boy washed up in South Korean waters near the sea border with North Korea and police are looking for clues as to whether it came from the North.    
   
A 110-centimeter-tall boy was found dead near Jeollyu port in the Han River Estuary on Wednesday. Police wonder whether he was washed over the border.  
   
According to the Ilsan Western Police, the body of the child was discovered by a fisherman around 12 p.m.   

The corpse didn’t seem to have injuries but was extremely thin.    
   
“The boy seems to be around the age of 10 and was only wearing a pair of worn-out, red shorts — no shirt,” a police officer said.    
   
The shorts had no brand and had a rubber band around the waistline, which would be unusual on a South Korean child.    
   
To identify the corpse, the police asked the National Institute of Forensic Sciences to determine the manufacturer of the shorts.
