According to Danish media the attempts of divers to get inside failed and were now interrupted due to worsening weather conditions. Also the attempt to right the ship which is lying on its port side and meanwhile grounded off Lolland failed. Survivors said the captain fell into the water and is presumed dead. The dead man found was the ship's engineer. Actually it's unclear whether 6 or 7 persons are missing. The chance to find survivors are said to be next to zero now, but divers will take a 2nd chance as soon as possible.

The search for possible survivors was stopped in the foremidday hours of Oct 29 as divers found no traces of someone inside the hull. So it sadly seems only 3 survived.
A collection of Danish media links regarding the search:
