Body Of Third Baltimore Key Bridge Victim Has Been Recovered

Two construction workers, 35-year-old Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes of Baltimore and 26-year-old Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera of Dundalk, were rescued after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed last week.Their victims were discovered inside a red pickup truck submerged about 25 feet deep in the middle of the Patapsco River, according to Maryland State Police Colonel Roland L. Butler Jr.

The collapse of the Key Bridge is unquestionably one of the most difficult disasters we have encountered as a law enforcement organisation. Butler stated, “We will not give up until we find the third body, along with our local, state, and federal public safety partners.” Some families are still waiting to hear if we have located their loved one. I can assure you that we are completely devoted to finding closure for each of these families.

About The Third Victim’s Body Recovered From Key Bridge

On Friday, crews uncovered the body of a third construction worker who died in the collapse of a bridge in Baltimore. Divers are still looking for further victims believed to be buried under the wreckage.

Maynor Yassir Suazo Sandoval’s body was found on Friday Morning, April 5. The discovery came amid salvage efforts to haul away tons of steel debris that officials have said prevented divers from locating multiple victims who were on the Francis Scott Key Bridge when it was rammed by a large container ship and collapsed into the water last week.

Dive teams recovered the body of 38-year-old Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval at approximately 10:30 Friday morning, according to an update released by the Unified Command.

This comes one week after two bodies were recovered from a vehicle underwater, on Wednesday, March 28, two days after the collapse of the Baltimore bridge.

The location of Suazo-Sandoval’s body in the wreckage has not been revealed by investigators. However, Maryland State Police’s Underwater Recovery Team assisted in the recovery, and leaders from Governor Moore’s Office of Immigrant Affairs met with his family on Friday.

On Friday afternoon, President Joe Biden visited the wreckage of the bridge and spoke with families of the fallen. “We’re going to keep working hard until we find each of them,” Biden stated.”To all the families and loved ones who are grieving, I’ve come here to grieve with you.”

Eight construction workers were taking a break when the bridge fell. Two were recovered, while the other six plunged into the Patuxent River and were presumed dead the next day. Three construction workers remain missing, and their remains have yet to be located. Divers attempting to recover the construction workers face cold, murky water that is difficult to see.

Maryland is praying for the family of Maynor Yasir Suazo Sandoval and all of his loved ones. They have our thoughts, our hearts, and our support, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said in a statement on Friday night: They have our thoughts, our hearts, and our support. In this moment, it’s important that we not just recognize the tragic loss of the six Marylanders who perished in the Key Bridge collapse – but also remember how they lifted up our state while they were still with us.

On the night of the collapse, these men were engaged in challenging, dangerous work – tending to our state’s infrastructure for our collective benefit. They hailed from communities that have gone long overlooked and underappreciated. But their work had dignity – and their contributions will never be forgotten.

On the day of the collapse, I said that we would stop at nothing to support these families. And we will continue to stop at nothing to get them closure with dignity. But more than that, we must continue to offer them comfort, help, and healing in their hour of need.

In the end, Suazo Sandoval’s body was with a medical examiner and would then be handed off to a funeral home and then to family members in Maryland over the weekend, Guardado said. The family’s goal was to repatriate his body back to his hometown, Azacualpa, in Honduras’s mountainous western region “and say goodbye to him with dignity, the way that he deserved,” Guardado said.

Suazo Sandoval had left Honduras for the United States nearly two decades ago and had long hoped to return to visit his family. The town is awaiting him. The town is expecting for its native son to return,” Guardado said. From here on out, the story changes, and we hope to bring my uncle to his homeland, for him to be buried here.
