Third body found after Polish mine blast

Rescuers have recovered the body of a member of their team who was missing following a blast in a Polish coal mine.

A spokeswoman for the mine said the body was found early today and is being brought to the surface.

One miner and one rescuer were already confirmed dead last Friday after methane ignited 2,700ft underground at the Krupinski mine near Katowice. The rescuer found today is the last person missing and brings the death toll to three.

Nine miners remain in hospital with burns.
