A scientist who studied dolphins in Kaikōura was one of 33 passengers who died in a dive boat fire off the coast of Southern California.
Dr Adrian Dahood-Fritz, who completed her masters at Kaikōura Ocean Research Institute, was known for having "a smiling face full of energy".
According to Statesman,
the 40-year-old scientist and her husband, both from Michigan, US, were asleep below the deck when the fire started early on Monday (local time).
Only one person remains missing Wednesday (local time) after searchers recovered 33 bodies from the charred underwater wreckage.
In a heartbreaking tribute on Facebook, Kaikōura Ocean Research Institute, where Dahood-Fritz studied, said they were "deeply saddened" by her and her 40-year-old husband's death.
