BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentine police have found another body in the wreck of a train that crashed two days ago, raising the death toll to 51.
Family and friends of Lucas Menghini Rey, one of the last passengers still missing, are anxiously waiting for the identification of the body in the wrecked train in Once station.
Their search and the vigil for Lucas have become emblematic of widespread anger over corruption and mismanagement in the train system. Many accuse the government of ignoring clear warnings about safety problems.
President Cristina Fernandez has been silent since the crash, and left the capital Friday for her home in southern Argentina. Meanwhile, the president of Paraguay is headed to Buenos Aires to meet with victims from his country.
