The Government Delegation reported late on Friday that the bodies found inside the apartments of the burned-out residential block in Valencia were nine. It was not until this Saturday morning that the balance was updated again: the fatalities finally amounted to a dozen.
The dance of figures is actually explained by the poor condition of the corpses, subjected for hours to the pressure of the fire. For now, the forensic experts at the Institute of Legal Medicine of Valencia have identified only the remains of three deceased.
