The coroner is en route to the scene and said it’s too early to confirm whether the remains are linked to the capsizing. Pillay was among three dozen tourists on the Leviathan II when the vessel capsized last month near Vargas Island. The five people who were confirmed dead on the night of incident were all from the United Kingdom and ranged in age from 18 to 76.
