In the last hours the fire brigade of Cundinamarca have confirmed the discovery of the lifeless bodies of four miners who were missing after an explosion involving three mines in Cucunubá, in the north, last April 20. This was reported by the Colombian media, specifying that now the toll of the tragedy in the Cundinamarca mine rises to seven dead, while four other miners have been rescued and are hospitalized in a medical center in Ubaté. The explosion would have been caused by the accumulation of gas in the three mines.
"According to the latest report presented by the Unified Command Post (PMU) in the jurisdiction of the municipality of Cucunubá, where we dealt with this emergency, there are four other lifeless bodies, which in these hours are being recovered by the specialized mining rescue group," said the delegate of the Cundinamarca fire brigade, Álvaro Farfán, according to the newspaper El Espectador.
