The couple had been married for only three months when the incident occurred; Querino’s family claims they nearly split up due to a serious argument the night before the crash but later reconciled via text message.

Story summary

Sean Michieli, 25, a newlywed fisherman from Cavallino-Treporti, Italy, died on Saturday after his small fishing boat collided with a water taxi in the Venetian Lagoon. His pregnant Brazilian wife Gabriela Querino, 26, was missing for days following the accident but her body was found Tuesday, just over a mile away from where Michieli's body was recovered. The couple had only been married for three months and were out fishing when their boat sank due to the collision in Venice, Italy. Rescue efforts were hindered by high tides and muddy waters, with darkness and fog being investigated as potential causes of the accident. Venice prosecutors have initiated a nautical homicide investigation into the incident, which local authorities described as an "immense tragedy." Querino's family raised suspicions about the circumstances leading up to the collision, suggesting that the couple had a serious argument the night before and she was contemplating leaving him.
