A Chinese-registered vessel has capsized in rough seas off the northern Philippines, leaving one crew member dead, police said Sunday.

Police said there were no immediate details as to the size and origin of the vessel but added that one Chinese crew member was taken to hospital while another drowned following the incident late Saturday.
