Divers recover body of final missing victim of boat fire off Southern California coast that killed 34 people last week.
The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office announced on Twitter Wednesday that it"is relieved to report that search and recovery efforts today were successful in locating the last missing victim."
The bodies were pulled from the submerged wreckage of a chartered dive boat that caught fire before dawn on Sept. 2 near the Channel Islands, about a mile off the coast of Santa Barbara. The burning boat sank in 65 feet of water and overturned as firefighters battled the flames. A day later, the U.S. Coast Guard called off the search for possible survivors, shifting its efforts to search and recovery.
