“Today, as our teams entered to carry out search and rescue work, we found some clues which may be bodies. I want us all to be very careful in saying, because today with what we have, we cannot determine if these are the people we are looking for, but there is an important clue that tells us that it may be them, ”he said. .

The bodies could probably belong to Paola Daniela Campos Robles, 22, her 3-year-old daughter and a 5-year-old boy, who, since last Friday, September 10, were missing among the rubble. So far, Mexican state authorities have not confirmed the identity of the genetic material.

However, the Mexican state government said that since the day of the collapse, there was no sign of life in the zone zero. So eThe material found will be used to identify the victims.

Likewise, Under-Secretary Ricardo de la Cruz explained that relatives of missing persons went to the Office of the Attorney General of the State of Mexico (FGJEM) with the support of the Commission of Victims to help them during the process.

The official stressed that due to the scale of the disaster and the weight of the rocks, not a body was found, but remains that will be analyzed with laboratory tests. Stated that Trying to remove all the human remains would involve digging and destabilizing the support where the stones are located.

“We all think we’ll find a body, when I tell you about cluesThis is because it is human material that can be used for identification; Unfortunately, the size of the fallen rocks makes it impossible to rescue it, so it will have to be done with laboratory tests and that is why we have been in contact with the family, ”he explained.

The standards set by thea United Nations (UN) in the search for people it is 72 hours, the same that were filled yesterday, Monday. However, the authorities did not stop carrying out rescue operations.

Likewise, the undersecretary urged the population living around the disaster area not to launch fireworks over the next few days, during the celebration of national holidays, as the vibrations could affect the support of the rocks and hamper the rescue work.

“The vibrations can destabilize the slope, but also because one of the alerts of the area, besides the topographic equipment, is the sound; if you hear a fracture in the ground, the material will come loose and with the pyrotechnics they could be confused ”.

According to the measurement reports of the structural engineers, there were landslides in the area of ​​the collapse, posing a risk to people nearby, who with the help of the National Guard remained to protect their belongings.
