ROME: Rescuers on Friday found the body of the last missing worker after an explosion at a hydroelectric plant in Italy, bringing the final confirmed death toll to seven, AFP reported.
Fire department spokesman Luca Cari confirmed that all the workers missing after Tuesday’s blast had now been found. Three bodies of workers had been recovered on Thursday.
The cause of the blast at Enel Green Power’s (EGP) Bargi hydroelectric plant on Lake Suviana near Bologna still remains unclear.
EGP’s chief executive, Salvatore Bernabei, said in an interviews published Friday that any speculation was “premature”, saying it would take time to understand a “very complex” situation.
But he rejected any suggestion there had been safety issues at the plant.
The firm on Wednesday announced a two-million-euro fund for the urgent needs of victims and their families.
