Indonesian rescuers recovered the body of a female victim believed to be part of the family of Spanish soccer coach Fernando Martín and his three children, who went missing after their tour boat sank three days ago. The body was found just after dawn on Monday near the northern waters of Serai island, approximately 1 km from the sinking site, as reported by Fathur Rahman, the chief of the Maumere Search and Rescue Office. The body was subsequently transported to a hospital in Labuan Bajo for identification, according to Channel News Asia, Reuters, and CBS News.

The tragedy unfolded when the boat carrying Martín, his family, and crew members capsized due to engine failure in rough seas on Friday evening. As per reports, Martín's wife and one child, along with four crew members and a tour guide, were rescued shortly after the incident. However, Fernando Martín and his two sons, aged 9 and 10, as well as a 12-year-old daughter, remain unaccounted for. The coach's wife, Andrea, and their youngest daughter, Mar, are in good health and authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the accident, according to Channel News Asia, Reuters, and CBS News.

The ongoing search operation, now in its fourth day, involves over 100 personnel, including police and navy support. Rescue efforts have been expanded to cover a larger area despite adverse weather conditions, including strong currents and high waves. Authorities aim to locate the remaining family members and ensure a thorough investigation into the accident. Indonesian law mandates search efforts to continue for at least seven days, with extensions possible if needed, as indicated by Channel News Asia, Reuters, and CBS News.

In response to the tragic accident, Valencia CF expressed deep condolences, characterizing the loss as “devastating” for the club and its community. Other notable football organizations, including Spain’s La Liga and clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona, also extended their sympathies, highlighting the profound impact of the tragedy on the football community, as shared by Channel News Asia, Reuters, and CBS News.
