BALTIMORE — Ten days after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed in Baltimore, another body has been recovered.
Officials say Unified Command dive teams recovered the body of 38-year-old Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval around 10:30 a.m. Friday.
The details surrounding where Suazo-Sandoval's body was found in the wreckage have not been released.
According to Unified Command, salvage dive teams located the missing construction worker and alerted the Maryland Department of State Police, who recovered Suazo-Sandoval's body.
“The collapse of the Key Bridge is undoubtedly one of the most challenging tragedies we have faced as a law enforcement agency. Along with our local, state and federal public safety partners, we will not give up,” said Colonel Roland L. Butler, Jr., Superintendent of the Maryland Department of State Police. “There are families still waiting to hear if we have found their loved one. I can promise you, we are fully committed to finding closure for each of these families,” he said.
Family and friends of Suazo-Sandoval have created two separate GoFundMe fundraisers aiming to raise money for his family. One has raised more than $11,000, click here to contribute. The second one created in honor of his daughters has raised nearly $25,000. To donate and help them reach their goal click here.
Maryland Governor Wes Moore released a statement Friday night:
“Maryland is praying for the family of Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval and all of his loved ones. They have our thoughts, our hearts, and our support.
In this moment, it’s important that we not just recognize the tragic loss of the six Marylanders who perished in the Key Bridge collapse – but also remember the ways in which they lifted up our state while they were still with us.
On the night of the collapse, these men were engaged in challenging, dangerous work – tending to our state’s infrastructure for our collective benefit. They hailed from communities that have gone long overlooked and underappreciated. But their work had dignity – and their contributions will never be forgotten.
On the day of the collapse, I said that we would stop at nothing to support these families. And we will continue to stop at nothing to get them closure with dignity. But more than that, we must continue to offer them comfort, help, and healing in their hour of need.”
