Accident – Death – Obituary News : **Fourth Victim Found in Francis Scott Key Bridge Wreckage**

In a tragic turn of events, a fourth body has been discovered in the wreckage of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, three weeks after its collapse. The incident, which took place in Baltimore, Maryland, has left two construction workers still missing and presumed dead.

The Unified Command responding to the bridge collapse revealed on Monday that another body had been located on Sunday. The victim was subsequently transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner and identified, although their identity has not been publicly released yet.

The body was found trapped inside one of the missing construction vehicles, which was located by salvage teams from Unified Command. This devastating discovery comes on the heels of the identification of the third victim, Maynor Suazo-Sandoval, 38, who was one of the six construction workers missing after the bridge collapsed.

The two other victims, Alejanro Fuentes, 35, from Mexico, and Dorlian Castillo Cabrera, 26, from Guatemala, were found on the day of the incident itself, trapped within a submerged vehicle near the bridge’s middle span. The construction workers had been filling potholes on the bridge at the time of the collapse.

**The Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse**

The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed in the early hours of March 26 after the cargo ship, MV Dali, collided with a support pier. Shocking video footage captured the bridge crumbling and falling into the Patapsco River below, with cars and trucks plunging into the water from a height of around 184 feet.

The massive cargo ship, which was bound for Asia, experienced power outages just before the impact and has remained docked at the site since the collapse. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.

**Criminal Investigation Underway**

The FBI has launched a criminal investigation into the collapse, focusing on the cargo ship itself. Federal agents were seen boarding the vessel with a search warrant, looking into the events leading up to the bridge collision and any potential mechanical issues that may have made the ship dangerous.

The families of the victims found in the wreckage have also expressed their intention to conduct their own investigations. Attorneys representing the victims’ families plan to file personal injury claims and have raised concerns about the companies involved in the incident attempting to limit liability.

As the investigation continues, the families of the victims are seeking justice and answers in the wake of this devastating tragedy..
