Workers dismantling the ship made the grim discovery earlier today.
THE COMPANY DISMANTLING the Costa Concordia cruise ship says workers have discovered human remains believed to be that of the last missing crew member.
The Ship Recycling company said the remains were found earlier today in a cabin on the ship’s eighth deck. The remains were being turned over to Italian authorities for identification.

The ship’s captain is being tried for manslaughter, causing the shipwreck and abandoning the ship.
