Additional bones found on Concordia wreck

Coroner examining skull found Wednesday



(ANSA) - Genoa, August 7 - Crews searching the wreck of the Costa Concordia for the remains of its 32nd victim on Thursday found additional bones that might be part of an arm, ANSA sources said. Authorities are looking for the body of Indian steward Russel Rebello, the only victim of the January 2012 disaster whose remains haven't yet been recovered. On Wednesday, crews found a human skull in the same area where the badly decomposed body of another victim, a woman, had previously been found.

Coroner Alessandro Bonsignore is trying to determine whether the skull is male or female, and those results are expected later on Thursday afternoon. Rebello is believed to have been the 32nd fatality among the passengers and crew of the vessel after it hit rocks off Giglio island on January 13, 2012. A Spanish diver died while working on the salvage operation in January, taking the Concordia's overall death toll to 33.
