Romanian nightclub fire death toll rises to 32

Medical authorities say a 28-year-old woman has died of injuries she sustained during a fire at a Bucharest nightclub, raising the death toll to 32.

Manager of the St. Pantelimon hospital Gheorghe Popescu said the Andreea Chiriac, who had burns to about 50 per cent of her body, died Tuesday morning at the hospital. She was one of five patients in a serious or critical condition at the hospital.

Some 130 people remain hospitalized, of whom about 90 people are in critical or serious condition after fire engulfed the Colectiv nightclub in Bucharest on Friday evening during a heavy-metal rock concert. Witnesses say a spark during a pyrotechnics show ignited foam decor in the basement club.
