Rescue crews Saturday found the body of a construction worker who was missing since the collapse of a seven-story parking garage that killed two others.
The workers were killed when the floors of the unfinished garage crashed down Friday afternoon. Another was hospitalized in critical condition, but Montgomery County fire spokesman Pete Piringer said the worker’s condition had stabilized.
The body of the unidentified worker was found shortly after 3 p.m., said county police spokesman Derek Baliles. He was part of a work team on a 15-day assignment from North Carolina.
The body was taken to the State Medical Examiner’s Office in Baltimore.
Carl Gene Fisher, of Wadesboro, N.C., and Hubaldo Medina Andrade, of Chapel Hill, N.C., also were killed in the collapse. Fifteen workers were in the garage when it fell.
The cause of the collapse was still unclear Saturday. Just before the floors fell, workers heard a popping noise but no explosion, Piringer said. Cables secured one concrete wall that remained standing.
