Body search of Indian waiter begins as Costa Concordia righted

The bodies of two missing victims of the Costa Concordia cruise ship disaster are yet to be found.

32 people had died when the ship ran aground as she was sailed too close to shore on January 13.

Among them, Italian passenger Maria Grazia Trecarichi and Indian waiter Russel Rebello are still unaccounted for and presumed dead, news.com.au reports.

Franco Gabrielli, head of the civil protection agency and project overseer, said the search for the corpses of Rebello and Trecarichi would start 'in the next few days at the latest'.

Kevin Rebello, the waiter's brother, and Elio Vincenzi, the passenger's husband, were expected to arrive on Giglio.

Salvage crews have to reinforce and stabilise the badly-mangled hull of the cruise ship before police officers can enter the ship.
