Bones possibly belonging to the Costa Concordia’s only still missing person may have been found onboard the hulk of the vessel.

A search for the last missing person kicked off Tuesday onboard the Costa Concordia at the port of Genoa, where the vessel is now berthed following the successful refloating and towing operation carried out last month.

According to a statement by the Italian Deptartment of Civil Protection, the bones were found by divers on deck number 3 of the ship and they will need to be analyzed to confirm whether or not they below to the missing person.

The green light for the search at the Port of Genoa comes after a search of the seabed at Giglio island following the vessel’s departure returned no signs of the missing person.

1. Well, that's pretty awful, but I guess it was previously too dangerous to search thoroughly.

How terrible for his family, hope this gives them the answers they need.

2. At least family members will have a definitive answer.

The missing person is identified as Russel Rebello, who according to Reuters report was a waiter from India.

In October, the remains of Maria Grazia Trecarichi were discovered onboard the ship. The statement from the Dept. of Civil Protection said that it can not be ruled out the remains belong to Trecarichi.
