Divers found the remains of eight people inside the wrecked Costa Concordia on Wednesday, according to published reports.
Four bodies have not yet been recovered, due to bad weather that caused a delay in the process. Earlier on Wednesday, searchers found and recovered four bodies.
The latest discovery brings to 25 the number of bodies located since the 3,200-passengership hit a rocky reef off the Italian coast on Jan. 13. At least seven people are still missing, according to the latest reports from Italy.
The ship capsized off the Italian island of Giglio, where it remains half-submerged as salvage crews attempt to remove 500,000 gallons of fuel.
This report was updated Wednesday afternoon to add that divers found four more bodies in the Concordia.
