The bodies of two TEPCO workers missing since the March 11th disaster have been found.
TEPCO officials said that both had died of bleeding from multiple wounds.
The workers, who belonged to the operation management division of TEPCO, are believed to have died around 4 p.m. local time on March 11, apparently after the 2:46 p.m. quake triggered a massive tsunami, the Kyodo news agency reports.
Their bodies were found only on Wednesday. Some time was required to remove radioactive material of them, the utility said.

The men's remains were found in the basement of the turbine building at the No. 4 reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, an official with the Tokyo Electric Power Company told reporters Sunday.
The pair -- identified as Kazahiko Kokubo, 24, and Yoshiki Terashima, 21, both members of the utility company's operations management department -- were working in that building when the 9.0-magnitude quake and subsequent tsunami struck.
One of the workers was found floating in a pool of water in the basement, the utilty company official said. Both appeared to have suffered multiple traumatic injuries and severe blood loss.
The bodies were found Wednesday, but the power company did not disclose the news until late Sunday morning.
Tokyo Electric officials explained the information was delayed in getting out because it took time to notify victims' families and discuss how to announce the news.
