Romanian fire death toll up to 29
Print Edition
TWO young Romanian women died of severe burns in hospital yesterday after having been rescued from the fire at a Bucharest nightclub on Friday, doctors said, raising the death toll to 29.
Thousands of people marched silently with flowers through Bucharest yesterday to commemorate the victims and United States ambassador Hans Klemm visited the location of the Colectiv nightclub, meeting people who had lit candles to express solidarity with the grieving families.
“Unfortunately, two female victims (a 25- and a 31-year-old) died today. The state of those hospitalised and labelled critical remains critical,” deputy Interior Minister Raed Arafat said.
The government declared three days of national mourning on Saturday, following the fire, which also left 184 injured during a rock concert that featured the use of fireworks indoors.
Up to 500 people, mostly young adults, stampeded for the only available exit as the club in the basement of a Communist-era sports shoe factory filled with smoke.
Yesterday, the authorities said all the dead had been identified and that 146 people remained in hospital, with 80-90 of them “in severe and critical state,” according to the health ministry.
Officials and witnesses said fireworks had been used inside the club.
