The body of a 26-year-old Chinese tourist has been recovered after an overnight search operation off the Maltese island of Comino, where a natural rock arch collapsed onto a jet ski on Saturday evening.

Emergency crews worked through the night after the man became trapped beneath large rocks on the seabed when the limestone formation gave way. Divers used heavy lifting equipment to remove the debris before the body could be recovered safely. Maltese police have opened an investigation into the incident.
