More bodies found in Katowice exhibition hall; constructor attempts suicide

The rescue mission is continuing and it is not yet known when it will be over and heavy equipment will start to be used. "This will happen when we are sure there are no more bodies inside and only when investigators state that all evidence has been secured," said Leszek Goławski, spokesperson for the Katowice Prosecutor's Office. The investigation being conducted by the Prosecutor's Office revealed there have been problems with the roof of the exhibition hall since it was built with numerous leaks and cracks being reported. Yesterday, Jacek J., the hall's constructor and member of the supervisory board of Invit, the company that built the hall, is now in hospital after trying to commit suicide. He left a letter in which he explained that the tragedy in Katowice was the reason for the attempt. Rescue teams are still looking for three missing persons, two Poles and one Hungarian citizen.
