His friend, James Arnold, told MailOnline today: “We would like to know if he is still alive because he has five children, the youngest being a toddler.
“The sad thing is that before he went on board, his son told him to stay home and not go back to work.
“He is a close friend and we just want to know if he is still alive or trapped inside the ship.”
The four who remain missing are believed to have been trapped inside the ship’s hull.
