Italian media is reporting that a 7th body has been found on the ship-wrecked cruise liner in the Mediterranean.
Rescue workers are quoted as saying the body has not yet been recovered.
28 people are still unaccounted for after the Costa Concordia crashed into rocks on Friday night.
The captain of the ship is due to appear in court later.
He is accused of abandoning the vessel before all passengers were removed.
Rescue squads have used controlled explosions to enter the stricken liner
The Costa Concordia owners accused their captain of causing the disaster by veering the ship too close to shore where it hit a rock in a bravura “salute” to residents of a Tuscan island off the Italian Mediterranean coast.
Prosecutors say Captain Francesco Schettino also refused to go back on board when requested by the coastguard.
The weather improved slightly from Monday but seas were still choppy.
The giant cruise liner slid a little on Monday threatening to plunge 2,300 tonnes of fuel below the Mediterranean waters of the surrounding nature reserve.
