According to reports, the deceased was one of seven miners in the pit before the collapse.<\/p>\n

The District Chief Executive of Bole, James Jaaga, confirmed the body had been retrieved by the rescue team and it has been deposited at the morgue for examination.<\/p>\n

Mr. Jaaga told Citi News<\/strong>, before the body had been retrieved, the rescue team was approached by a young boy who claimed to be one of the miners in the pit.<\/p>\n

According to Mr. Jaaga, the boy, whose name he gave as “Robert,” told the team that \u201cthey [the miners] \u00a0were a seven-member team\u201d in the pit before it collapsed.<\/p>\n

The six others, however, reportedly escaped unhurt and were rescued by a team consisting of residents of the area and police.<\/p>\n
