41 people are dead after an explosion in a coal mine in northern Turkey.
The discovery of the last missing body ends the rescue operation, which lasted for more than 20 hours since the explosion.
The interior minister said that 58 people working in the mine when the explosion exploded were either saved or released on their own.
About 110 people were in the mine at the time of Friday's explosion, almost half of them in more than 300m of depth.
Turkish President Recep Tayip Erdogan has visited the country in the province of Bartin, along with other ministers, and confirmed that the last missing person had been found dead, writes BBC, broadcast Klankosova.tv.
Authorities said Turkish prosecutors have launched an investigation due to the blast, but the initial indicators were that the explosion was caused by fire humidity -- a term referring to the Metan creating an explosive mix in coal mines.
