Death toll of Taiwan water park blaze rises to 4

THE death toll from a fire in Taiwan on June 27 rose to four after a 23-year-old medicine student died in hospital on Friday.

The student, identified as Su, was being treated at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital in New Taipei City. His family decided to donate his organs.

The blaze broke when a large amount of colored powder was ejected from a stage during a music event at the water park in New Taipei City. The powder ignited before landing on the audience.

Among the nearly 500 injured, 415 are still in hospital. Of the 281 people in intensive care, 61 have stabilized but still need close monitoring, according to the island's health authority.
