Five More Bodies Found at Wreck of Costa Concordia

The Associated Press and other news outlets are reporting divers and workers at the wreckage of the Costa Concordia have discovered five more bodies today, bringing the number of bodies recovered to 30.

It is presumed 32 people–including the parents of teacher Aaron Heil–died in the accident, which occurred more than two months ago on Friday, Jan. 13.

A memorial service in honor of Gerald and Barbara Heil was held last month.

It's the first discovery in more than a month. On Feb. 22, Italian officials announced they were able to recover  more bodies from the wreckage, including the only child missing, a 5-year-old girl. In all seven passengers were found, and the other seven will have to be identified, the BBC reported. The Associated Press is reporting only four have been found.

The passengers were found near an area called Bridge 4.

Today's bodies were found in an area between the ship and the seabed, the AP report stated. The were discovered as workers were trying to set up an underwater robot to search inaccessible sections of the ship.

Seven of the eight bodies discovered in February have not been officially identified. The bodies found have been badly decomposed in the seawater, and examiners are awaiting DNA testing.

However, now, only two bodies remain missing.

Removal of the ship from the rocky Tuscan coastline is being bid, and could take up to another year.
