Final quake death toll reaches 369

The last body known to be trapped in rubble following last month’s Mexican earthquake has been recovered, raising the overall death toll to 369.

The body was recovered from a collapsed office building in central Mexico City, where a steadily dwindling number of families kept vigil for two weeks as an international assortment of rescuers worked a massive rubble heap.

It was the last known active recovery site following the magnitude 7.1 quake on 19 September.

Roberto Campa, the interior department’s deputy secretary for human rights, said that 49 bodies had been recovered.
