The number of people known to have been killed by a collapsing roof at a nightclub in the Dominican Republic reached 124 yesterday as officials attempted to identify the victims.
More than 255 people were injured by falling concrete slabs at the Jet Set club in the capital Santo Domingo, which was packed with musicians, professional athletes and government officials when the roof collapsed during a concert.
Victims include merengue music star Rubby Perez, who had been singing to the crowd before the disaster struck, said emergency operations director Juan Manuel Mendez.
Rescue crews were still searching for survivors last night, more than 36 hours after the collapse.
“We’re going to search tirelessly for people,” Mr Mendez said.
