A fourth body has been recovered from the wreckage of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, less than three weeks after the bridge collapsed.
Authorities confirmed another body of the six missing construction workers was recovered on Sunday, with the identity being confirmed on Monday. The Maryland State Police and other agencies have not released the name of the victim at the request of the victim’s family.
“As we mourn the lives lost and continue the recovery operation, we recognize each missing individual is someone’s beloved friend or family member,” Col. Roland Butler, Jr., superintendent of the Maryland Department of State Police, said in a statement on Monday.
“Along with all of our allied law enforcement partners, we pledge to exhaust the physical and technical aspects of their training while deploying every available resource possible,” he added.
The body of the unnamed victim recovered on Monday marks the fourth of a presumed six construction workers who were killed when the bridge collapsed in the early morning hours of March 26. The bodies of two presumed dead workers have yet to be recovered.

The bridge collapse, which was caused by the Dali crashing into one of the bridge’s support columns, is now the subject of a criminal investigation by the FBI.
The FBI investigation is separate from the National Transportation Safety Board’s investigation into the incident.
