The research ends the victims of the collapse of the roof of the Dominican Republic which killed 221

Kelvin Espinal spent three days this week at the Santo Domingo Morgue.

His cousin, Yadhira Elaine Estévez Serrano, was one of 221 people who died when the roof collapsed early Tuesday in the Jet Set nightclub in the capital of the Dominican Republic. His cousin, who looked more like a sister, died the day before her 42nd anniversary.

And like dozens of other families, Mr. Espinal had not yet received the body of his loved one to bury.

“We spent the whole day Tuesday here, until 12 noon,” said Espinal Thursday afternoon. “We were here all day Wednesday and today.”

The authorities of the Dominican Republic put an end to the search for bodies trapped in the Night of the Jets, where a roof collapsed during a concert, killing 221 people and injuring 189 others.

The emergency operations center has given the site to the prosecutor’s office to recover the investigation. Now comes the difficult part: to determine what caused the roof of an old 50 -year -old cinema to crash, just like hundreds of people had gathered for a concert.

The roof collapsed early Tuesday in Jet Set, a well -known nightclub in Santo Domingo, whose live Monday musicals were a tradition of several popular decades with politicians, athletes and business class. A governor died, as are two former major leagues baseball players and a family of eminent bankers.

The body of the singer of Merengue who performed, Rubby Pérez, was removed from the wreckage on Wednesday morning. Many of his fans of her hometown, Haina, a city just outside the capital, were at his concert that a collective wake took place in a local leisure center.
