Rescuers found a body in the wreckage of the liner Costa Concordia early on Tuesday, bringing to seven the death toll after it ran aground off the coast of Italy, daily La Stampa said on its website.
The body had not yet been recovered, the report said, quoting rescue workers. A further 28 people remained missing, La Stampa said.
Rescuers from the fire service continued on Tuesday to comb the partly submerged wreckage of the giant vessel, a day after the head of the Italian coastguard, Marco Brusco, said there was 'a glimmer of hope' for finding more survivors, but rescuers said the chances were now slim.
Speaking before the latest body was found, Brusco said four crew members and 25 tourists including six Italians remained unaccounted for.
A German official said 10 German nationals were still missing while two French couples and two US nationals were among those unaccounted for.
The wreck of the Costa Concordia occurred off the coast of the picturesque island of Giglio in Tuscany late on Friday.
