- Share via
Russian rescue workers searching for people trapped in the ruins of a collapsed indoor water park called off their efforts as officials announced the death toll had risen to 25.
As many as 17 people remain missing, presumably buried under debris of Transvaal Park in Moscow, officials said.
Rescuers shoveled snow from the tangled mass of steel and concrete. Moscow prosecutor Anatoly Zuyev said faulty construction or maintenance probably was to blame. Investigators were questioning managers of the park, its architects, engineers and builders, Zuyev said.
