A fourth body has been recovered from the wreckage of last month’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore.
Six people are believed dead after a massive container ship collided with the bridge on March 26.
A missing construction vehicle was discovered by a salvage crew clearing debris from the waterway on Sunday, the Key Bridge Response Unified Command said in a statement.
Maryland State Police, the FBI and the Maryland Transportation Authority Police responded and found a victim’s body inside the vehicle.
Alicia Bárcena, Mexico’s secretary of foreign affairs, identified the man as Carlos Daniel Hernández on Monday night, according to the Baltimore Sun.
Hernández was related to both Alejandro Hernández Fuentes, who also died in the collapse, and Julio Adrian Cervantes Suarez, who survived the disaster. An attorney representing Suarez said the workers were not warned about the errant ship’s approach.
The bodies of Maynor Suazo Sandoval and Dorlian Castillo Cabrera have also been recovered.
Miguel Luna and José Mynor López remain missing.
“As we mourn the lives lost and continue the recovery operation, we recognize each missing individual is someone’s beloved friend or family member,” Col. Roland L. Butler Jr., superintendent of the Maryland State Police, said in a statement Monday. “Along with all of our allied law enforcement partners, we pledge to exhaust the physical and technical aspects of their training while deploying every available resource possible.”
