The last body recovered from the wreck of the Costa Concordia was that of Russel Rebello, a 33-year-old waiter from India. His remains were discovered in November 2014, nearly three years after the ship ran asunder off the coast of Giglio, Italy, in January 2012. His body was found by salvage workers as they were dismantling the vessel in the port of Genoa. Rebello was hailed as a hero; survivors reported that he stayed behind to help passengers into lifeboats and even gave up his own life jacket to save another person. He was the final of the 32 victims to be accounted for, bringing a somber sense of closure to the families and the international community. His discovery was a technically difficult feat, as his remains were located in a cabin on the eighth deck that had been submerged and crushed under the weight of the ship's debris for years.
