Captain dead, four others missing after tug capsizes in Romania's Midia Port

The tug's 57-year-old captain was pulled from the water unconscious. Tragically, despite efforts to resuscitate him, he was pronounced deceased shortly afterwards.

Divers have been continuing to search through the surrounding waters for any trace of the four missing crewmembers.

Local news outlets have identified the captain as retired Romanian professional football player Sorin Tufan, who had played in the UEFA Champions League until injuries forced him to retire early at age 26.
