Jakarta: Rescuers retrieved on Sunday the body of a Spanish man who had been missing since a tourist boat sank in rough seas off eastern Indonesia more than a week ago, an official said.
Fathur Rahman, head of the local search and rescue agency, said a body was found floating in waters near Rinca island, around 2 kilometres (1.2 miles) from site of the accident on December 26.
Following an identification process, authorities have confirmed the victim's identity, 44-year-old Fernando Martin Carreras, added Fathur.
Carreras was the coach of the reserve women's team of the Spanish club Valencia, according to an earlier statement from Real Madrid.
