A 29-year-old woman who was working as a hostess on a UK-flagged sailboat has been found dead aboard the 72-foot vessel that caught fire in an Italian marina while she was asleep.
Giulia Maccaroni, a resident of San Vito Romano, a commune about 25 miles from Rome, went to sleep on the Morgane after telling fellow crew members that she was tired after a cruise Monday, according to Newsflash.

Her family members were traveling down from Rome to identify the body, which was to undergo an autopsy, and assist authorities in the investigation.
