Firefighter Kaag expressed his regret over the catastrophe, speculating that a gas leak may have been the cause, but he provided no further details.

Kaag said on Sunday night,” Please explain that this is a severe loss, but we are truly grateful to bring closure to the families involved in the new day.”

The woman had apparently been on the second floor and had been discovered in a” hopeful circumstance ,” calling for assistance from rescuers after being located by oxen, according to Kaag, who added that officials had no update on her condition when she was pulled alive from the rubble early on Saturday. Additionally, no posts on the condition of those injured and taken to facilities were provided. Nevertheless, Reading Hospital previously reported that 10 patients were admitted, two of whom were transferred to other services and the other two were given good and fair admissions. The others had been let go.
