Spanish Family of Four Missing After Boat Sinks Off Indonesia

Rescuers found a female body linked to the family of Spanish coach Fernando Martín amid ongoing search for him and three children after a boat sank in Komodo National Park.

  • Indonesian rescuers recovered a female body believed to be part of Fernando Martín's family just after dawn Monday about 1 kilometer from the Serai island sinking site.
  • During a family holiday, the tour boat sank Friday evening after engine failure in Komodo National Park with Fernando Martín, 44, Andrea, their four children, four crew members, and a local guide aboard.
  • Efforts included nearly 100 personnel supported by police and navy, combing four sectors with inflatable boats, navy ships, and rescue vessels, with help from local fishers and residents, while the search area doubled from a 9-kilometer radius.
  • Authorities said the body was transported to a hospital in Labuan Bajo for identification while Andrea and Mar remain in good health as Indonesian law mandates a seven-day search.
  • With lax safety standards and overcrowding, accidents occur frequently in Indonesia, an archipelago with more than 17,000 islands, while Komodo National Park attracts thousands of international tourists.
