Families had been notified in 60 of the 66 completed identifications after Spain’s Oct. 28 train crash near Urda, while three victims remained unidentified, the Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Castilla-La Mancha said Sunday.
Officials had identified all 54 Spanish nationals among the dead and 12 foreign nationals, the regional high court said. Six completed identifications had yet to be reported to families.
Fingerprint analysis accounted for 53 identifications and was carried out by the Guardia Civil’s Criminalistics Service. DNA analysis established the other 13, with Spain’s National Institute of Toxicology working alongside the service, according to the court notice.
The three unidentified victims are believed to be foreign nationals. Authorities have located their families, who want to travel to Spain to take part in the identification process, the court said.
The collision involved trains operated by Renfe and Iryo. EconoTimes previously covered the 69-death toll in its earlier report on the crash.
