The Coast Guard was still looking for who could be the seventh and last victim of the fatal boat crash between the Argentine flagged sand barge “Río Turbio” and the Paraguayan tugboat “Ava Payagua” on Saturday’s early hours in the Paraná de las Palmas river.
The Argentine flagged vessel sank as a result of the accident and seven of its eight-member crew went missing. One sailor was later found alive.
So far six fatal victims have been found in the wreckage: Ciriaco Rodríguez, Gustavo Caracciolo, Felipe Haroldo Aguirre, Marcelo Osvaldo Córdoba, José Mario de la Fuente Sequeire, and Cristian Ariel Marmet.
According to first reports, the Paraguayan boat was not able to complete a manoeuvre and crashed into the sand barge.
