Identified: Victims from the Factory Blast in Brazil, confirmed by the corporation
The small town of Quatro Barras in Curitiba, Brazil, was shaken by a powerful explosion at an Enaex factory early on Monday morning. The blast, which occurred at around 05:50 local time (around 09:50 in Portugal Continental), claimed the lives of nine employees and injured seven others.
The victims were identified as Camila Pinheiro, Cleberson Correa, Eduardo de Paula, Franciele de Oliveira, Jessica Pires, Marcio de Andrade, Pablo dos Santos, Roberto Kuhnen, and Simeão Machado.
Details about some of the victims have emerged. Camila Pinheiro, a 24-year-old, had been working at the factory for a year, having been recommended by her mother, who is also an employee there. Eduardo de Paula, whose age is not mentioned, was married and a father. Marcio de Andrade, a 38-year-old pastor of an evangelical church, lived in Campina do Grande Sul and left behind a six-year-old daughter.
The explosion occurred in an area where explosives were being prepared for transport. The force of the blast was so intense that it dismembered the bodies, making identification difficult. DNA tests will be conducted on the victims using material collected from their families for confirmation.
