The collapse of a church roof during a mass in northern Mexico has killed at least 10 people and injured 60, and searchers said no more people are believed to be trapped in the wreckage.

State police had initially estimated about 100 people were inside the church in the Gulf coast city of Ciudad Madero when it collapsed during a baptism on Sunday, and said about 30 parishioners may have been trapped in the rubble.
