Cran-Montana Tragedy: 16 More Bodies Identified, Ages 14-31

Swiss police have identified another 16 bodies from the tragedy at the Cran-Montana bar, bringing the total number of identified victims to 24. The identified victims range in age from 14 to 31 and include Swiss, Italian, Romanian, French, and Turkish nationals. The fire, considered one of the worst in Swiss history, was caused by lit fireworks inside champagne bottles. Authorities are investigating how the bar quickly became a “death trap,” with testimonies reporting a locked emergency exit.
