A 41-year-old professional scuba diver, died while he was working to clear the wreck of the cruise ship Costa Concordia that capsized, and later sank in shallow waters after striking an underwater rock off Isola del Giglio, Tuscany, Italy in 2012. The death was due to him being crushed between the side of the ship and the arm of a crane. A deep lacerated wound in size of 5x2 cm was seen on the pelvic floor, and the pelvic organs and the colon were protruding through the wound. The autopsy confirmed that the cause of death was the massive haemorrhage subsequent to the wound caused by the crush.
