Skull found on Concordia, not necessarily missing steward's

Indian only victim of disaster whose body not found

(ANSA) - Genoa, August 6 - A human skull has been found on the wreck of Costa Concordia by crews searching for the body of Indian steward Russel Rebello, the only victim of the January 2012 disaster whose remains have not yet been recovered, ANSA sources said. The skull does not necessary belong to Rebello as it was found in the same area of the ship where the badly decomposed body of another victim, a woman, had previously been found.

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.
