Rescuers early Friday morning recovered a seventh body from inside a coal mine in northern Mexico, the country’s labor secretary said.
Javier Lozano has said that at this point — more than three days after an explosion — there is no hope of finding alive the remaining miners trapped inside.
Seven other bodies remain inside the shaft.
A group of five experts from Chile arrived at the mine site just outside of Sabinas, Mexico, to aid Mexican authorities, though a heroic rescue like that of the 33 miners trapped in Chile last year was virtually impossible.
