Spanish authorities confirmed late Sunday that four Americans were among those killed in last week's train derailment, according to UPI. Officials released the findings as part of a broader identification effort covering most of the victims from the crash.
The confirmation marks a grim milestone in the investigation into the wreck, which claimed multiple lives and drew international attention given the number of foreign nationals affected. Spanish officials did not release further details on the Americans' identities in the initial confirmation, per UPI.
Authorities continue working to formally identify the remaining victims as the investigation into the cause of the crash proceeds.
