The death toll in Sunday's construction accident in the Al Liyyah area rose Monday to six, with one of the victims dying during surgery.
Sharjah Police are still investigating the cause of the tragic accident in which the scaffolding collapsed, plunging 13 workers to the ground 15 metres below, and sending steel bars and 100 tonnes of wet cement cascading on top of them.
Until Monday afternoon, a rescue team was looking for the body of the fifth worker thought to be buried in the concrete, Gulf News reported. Of the five who died on Sunday, two were retrieved immediately, and another two recovered later. (Albawaba.com)
