The Unified Command salvage teams have located the body of another victim of the Francis Scott Key Bridge disaster, bringing the total number of causalities to six.

Investigators from the Maryland State Police, along with an FBI Victim Specialist and linguist, and a team of mental health professionals notified family members after a positive identification was confirmed.
"With heavy hearts, today marks a significant milestone in our recovery efforts and providing closure to the loved ones of the six workers who lost their lives in this tragic event," said Colonel Roland L. Butler, Jr., Superintendent of the Maryland Department of State Police. "As we mourn with the families, we honor the memory of José Mynor López, Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval, Carlos Daniel Hernandez Estrella, and Miguel Angel Luna Gonzalez."

According to reports, rescuers are still searching for multiple people, while two survivors have been pulled from the Patapsco River.

The discovery comes weeks after the Sri Lanka-bound Dali container ship struck the Key Bridge, causing it to collapse on the night of Mar. 26, leaving six construction workers dead.
Less than a week ago, authorities announced a fifth victim's body had been recovered from the wreckage. Miguel Angel Luna Gonzalez, 49, of Glen Burnie was recovered after divers spotted a red construction vehicle in the river and alerted the Maryland Department of State.
