Corpse found in Costa Concordia thought to be the last victim
Remains of Indian waiter found under furniture almost three years after Costa Concordia sank
A corpse found in the wreck of the Costa Concordia is thought to be that of the last person unaccounted for almost three years after the luxury liner sank.
Russel Rebello, an Indian who worked as a waiter on the ship when it hit rocks and sank off Giglio in Tuscany in January 2012, killing 32 people, had been the only person missing after the disaster whose body had not yet been found.
Workers for Ship Recycling, the company dismantling the cruise ship, discovered the remains underneath furniture in a cabin on the eighth deck.
The Repubblica daily said the cabin was in a part of the ship crushed against the sea floor.
Scraps of the waiter's uniform were found intact despite being underwater for so long, it said.
The remains were being turned over to Italian authorities for identification.
