Body of Daughter Recovered After Indonesia Tour Boat Capsize That Killed Valencia Coach and Three Children

Authorities cite heavy waves with a failed engine as the cause.

Overview

  • Rescuers recovered the body of a 12-year-old girl near Serai island, while searches continue for her father, Valencia CF reserve women’s coach Fernando Martín Carreras, and two brothers.
  • The family was on a tourist vessel that capsized Friday near Padar in the Komodo National Park area with 11 people aboard.
  • Seven people survived, including Carreras’ wife, Andrea, and a seven-year-old daughter, along with other tourists and crew members.
  • Indonesian officials reported rough seas with waves up to roughly 1.5–3 meters and a motor failure that left the boat unmanageable, hindering early rescue efforts.
  • State rescue service Basarnas released images and video showing survivors being brought ashore, renewing scrutiny of small tour-boat safety in the Labuan Bajo region.
