All five people who were inside a construction site lift that crashed to the ground in Sweden have died, officials said on Tuesday.

Authorities had previously only reported that the occupants were seriously injured when the elevator plummeted 66ft (20m) in Sundbyberg, a northern suburb of the capital, Stockholm, on Monday.
