Two construction workers were killed in the collapse of a school roof in the city of Gijón in northern Spain.
They were there over the school holidays to fix the roof.
Two more injured workers were taken to hospital on Wednesday, reported the regional newspaper "El Comercio", citing the city administration.
The reason for the collapse was initially not known.
The police did not find the second body until the afternoon after searching for several hours in the rubble.
Nobody was missed anymore, it was said.
The two dead are said to be a 38 and a 40-year-old man, the two of whom were cousins according to the newspaper report.
The school "San Vicente de Paúl" in the center of Gijón is usually attended by almost 700 students.
However, these are currently still on vacation and were therefore not on site at the time of the incident.
