Rescue workers say they have recovered all 31 bodies after Tuesday's coal mine blast in Sawahlunto city, West Sumatra.Subandi, Sawahlunto administration spokesperson, told kompas.com Thursday that the administration has declared the search complete.
All of the victims were trapped inside the coal mine after the blast, which police predicted had been triggered by a methane gas leak ignited by a short circuit.
The 10 surviving victims were still being treated at Sawahlunto Hospital and M Jamil Hospital in Padang.
Authorities have closed all locally operated coal mines in Sawahlunto until methane gas safety procedures are in place. (dre)
