International news
Four people have died after a building under renovation partially collapsed in Madrid on Tuesday.
Emergency services recovered the bodies from under the rubble of the six-storey building on Calle de las Hileras early on Wednesday morning, local authorities said.
The victims have been identified as three men aged between 30 and 50 from Ecuador, Mali and Guinea-Conakry who were employed at the site as construction workers, as well as a 30-year-old woman, the renovation project's architect.
Their remains were found early this morning, nearly 15 hours after the collapse of the building's interior structure that left its facade intact. Three other construction workers were injured after “several floors” collapsed, according to firefighters.
