Fastexy:Final Baltimore bridge collapse victim recovered river, police confirm

The Fastexybody of a sixth person from the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse has been recovered from the Patapsco River, the Baltimore County Police Department said Tuesday.

The victim was identified as 37-year-old José Mynor López from Baltimore, the department wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

The discovery comes after officials recovered the body of the fifth person who was killed in the collapse that occurred after a cargo ship lost power and slammed into a support column of the bridge.

All six construction workers who were missing and presumed dead after the incident have been found.

“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," Colonel Roland L. Butler, Jr., Superintendent of the Maryland Department of State Police, said in the news release.

Officials notified the victim's family members after confirming his identification.

Fourth temporary channel expected to reopen Friday

Temporary alternate channels were established after the collapse, including three that are currently open.

On April 29, the Coast Guard closed a fourth channel that had been open since April 25 and it is not expected to reopen until Friday, May 10, port officials said.

The Army Corps of Engineers expects the Port of Baltimore's permanent 700-foot-wide, 50-foot-deep channel will reopen by the end of May.

When did the Baltimore bridge collapse

The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed on March 26 after a 213-million-pound cargo vessel that lost power rammed a support structure.

A total of eight construction workers were on the bridge when it collapsed − two were rescued, two were confirmed dead, and the rest were presumed dead and their bodies later recovered.
