All five trapped Chilean miners found dead

The latest fatality brings the total death toll from the accident to six, including one person who died at the time of the incident on Thursday evening.

Codelco discovered the first trapped worker on Saturday and another four on Sunday.

The collapse was triggered by one of the largest tremors ever recorded at El Teniente, with the impact of a 4.2 magnitude quake.

Codelco is investigating whether the cause was mining activity or natural tectonic shifts in the earthquake-prone country.
