They are also issuing the documents necessary for transporting the body as quickly as possible and are discussing the issues of cost directly with the business in charge.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is discussing with related ministries how to pay funeral expenses in advance to prevent such cases from occurring to foreign victims.
