As part of the ongoing search and rescue operations, the body of a fourth individual has been located.

Our priority remains staying close to them and our employees, providing all the care and support we can.
It is also critically important to establish a thorough and objective understanding of what occurred and all possible causes of a catastrophic loss of stability are in scope and will be considered. The investigation will fully consider all evidence and assess every potential cause before reaching a final determination.”
