"Hungarian musician Sándor Fehér has become the first fatality of the Italian cruise ship to be positively identified. The body of the 38-year-old violinist was found inside the wreck of the Costa Concordia and was identified by his mother at the crisis centre in the town of Grosseto.Fehér was last seen wearing a life jacket and giving assistance to fleeing passengers. He reportedly returned to his cabin to retrieve his violin.
An autopsy will be performed at a later date to establish the circumstances of his death, after which the body can be transported to Hungary.
