Death toll from Colectiv club fire: 48
COLECTIV (UPDATE) A patient transferred to a hospital in Great Britain died on Tuesday morning, raising the death toll of the deadly fire at a Bucharest nightclub on October 30th to 48. Dozens of injured, many in serious condition, are still undergoing treatment at several hospitals in Bucharest, while 30 have been transferred to hospitals abroad. Toxicology tests have shown that all victims, apart from burns, had high levels of carbon monoxide and cyanhydric acid in their blood. The concentration of these substances in the case of 18 victims exceeded the lethal levels. In another development, the government approved on Monday the amount of financial assistance needed for the treatment of the people in hospital. The interim prime minister Sorin Cimpeanu said the ministry of labour was working on an assistance and reintegration programme for those injured in the fire.
