Survivor from George building collapse dies in hospital

supplied


The death toll in the George building disaster has risen to 34.

This after a patient died in Hospital on Friday.

The Head of Disaster Management at the Garden Route District Municipality Gerhard Otto says nine people are still in hospital.

The deadly building collapse at Victoria Street in George happened two weeks ago when an unfinished apartment building suddenly collapsed.

Workers ended their operation on Friday as it was officially confirmed that only 62 individuals had been on-site during the collapse and not 81 as previously estimated.

The site, now a crime scene, will be handed over to the Department of Labour for further investigation.
