The death toll from the
collapse of a crowded Latvia supermarket roof has risen to 52 and the rescue
operation has resumed after a temporary halt, rescue workers said Saturday.
The supermarket roof fell
Thursday evening in the Latvian capital of Riga as customers were doing
after-work shopping. At least 36 were wounded, including 11 firefighters, and
29 were hospitalized as of Saturday morning, Sembele said.
Preliminary reports
indicate the roof caved in due to either faulty construction or building
activities on the roof, where workers were creating a garden area and
children's playground.
