A fifth body has been recovered after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed in Baltimore on March 26.

In a press release shared on Wednesday, May, 1, the Key Bridge Response Unified Command said another body had been found at the site, five weeks after the incident.

The victim was identified as 49-year-old Miguel Angel Luna Gonzalez, per the release.

"Unified Command salvage teams located one of the missing construction vehicles and promptly notified the Maryland Department of State Police," the release read in part. "Maryland State Police investigators along with officers from the Maryland Transportation Authority Police and the FBI responded to the scene and recovered the body of a fifth construction worker inside a red truck."

Roland Butler Jr., superintendent of Maryland State Police, said the authorities "remain dedicated to the ongoing recovery operations while knowing behind each person lost in this tragedy lies a loving family." "Along with our local, state and federal partners, we ask that everyone extend their deepest sympathies and support to the families during this difficult time," he added.

The day after the bridge's collapse, nonprofit organization CASA reported that the father of three — who is from El Salvador, but had lived in Maryland for over 19 years — was among the six people still missing and presumed dead from the incident.

Eight construction workers were working on the bridge when it collapsed early in the morning on March 26. Four of the six bodies were previously found while two other workers were able to escape with their lives.

Butler Jr. previously said the six victims were from originally from several countries, including Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.

The bodies of two workers — identifed as Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, 35, of Baltimore, and Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, 26, of Dundalk — were found on March 27 inside a red pickup truck that was submerged in 25 feet of water.

The body of a third worker, 38-year-old Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval, was found over a week later on Friday, April 5. The man was remembered as being a wonderful father to an 18-year-old son and a 6-year-old daughter, his brother Carlos Alexis Suazo Sandoval told Noticias Telemundo, per NBC News.

“He fought day after day for our family to get ahead. He looked for a way to make a living,” his sister told the Spanish-language outlet.

Nearly three weeks after the collapse, a fourth body was discovered on Sunday, April 14. At the time, officials said the victim had been positively identified by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, but at the request of the family, the individual’s name was not publicly disclosed.

All three men were employees of Brawner Builders, which was doing overnight maintenance work on the structure at the time of the deadly collapse, according to a statement previously shared by Jack Murphy.

“This tragic event was completely unforeseen and was not something that we could imagine would happen,” Murphy said at the time. “Our company is in mourning over the loss of these fine people.”
