Ten workers trapped in a coal mine in central Colombia were found dead, bringing the death toll from an explosion in the pit to 21, President Gustavo Petro said Thursday.
A build-up of methane gas apparently triggered the Tuesday night explosion in the underground complex, according to local officials.
Cundinamarca Governor Nicolas Garcia also announced the search was over Thursday, writing on Twitter that "unfortunately there is no longer anyone alive. We are heartbroken." Sutatausa's mayor, Jaime Arevalo, had earlier described the rescue effort as "very complex," saying oxygen was running out and water was "beginning to accumulate."
