Costa Concordia Confirmed Death Toll Rises to 25 with 7 Still Missing

2/22/2012

 

Italian rescue crews have found eight more bodies aboard Costa Cruises’ capsized Costa Concordia, bringing the death toll to 25 with seven still missing. Identities were not immediately available. The partially submerged Costa Concordia ran aground Jan. 13 after striking rocks as it sailed near the Italian island of Giglio. Costa said salvage crews have been pumping fuel from the ship around the clock since Feb. 12.

One of the bodies was that of a little girl, presumably a 5-year-old Italian girl who was listed as missing. Also still unaccounted for is a retired couple from suburban St. Paul, Minn.
