Body of sixth construction worker killed in Key Bridge collapse recovered

The body of the sixth and final missing victim killed in the Baltimore Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse has been recovered, authorities said Tuesday.

José Mynor López, 37, of Baltimore, was located Tuesday by Unified Command recovery teams, authorities said. His family has been notified, authorities said.

“It is with a heavy heart that today marks a significant milestone in our efforts to provide reconstruction and closure for the families of the six workers who lost their lives in this tragic event,” said Col. Roland Butler Jr., superintendent of the Maryland Department of State Police said in a statement.

López was one of six construction workers killed in the incident. The men were filling potholes in a bridge arch when the container ship Dali hit one of the Key Bridge’s piers on March 26, causing it to collapse. Two other workers survived the incident.

The other men killed in the collapse were identified by Butler as Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval, Carlos Daniel Hernandez Estrella and Miguel Angel Luna Gonzalez.
