The body of Luiz Chagas Lima, 42, a worker who disappeared after explosion in an ethanol tank at the Passa Tempo plant, in Río Brilhante, 158 kilometers from Campo Grande was located by the Fire Department teams, this Wednesday morning (18).
The body was located inside the alcohol tank and taken to Dourados to be examined in Imol (Institute of Medicine and Legal Dentistry), the second brother of the victim, councilor Adailton Lima. The fire at the plant, which started around 6 pm on Tuesday (17), was extinguished at noon.
Later, the military concentrated on strategies to locate Luiz, with difficulty, due to the heat of the metals in the rubble. “The cooling was done in the afternoon and they had to cut the lid of the tank, which is 22 tons. For this, the military left with a torch and also needed two cranes, as they believed that the body would be under the structure, ”explained Lt. Colonel Fernando Carminatti.
Luiz had been an employee of the plant for about 25 years. “The searches were suspended around 10 at night, because it started to rain a lot. But today, since 5:30 am, I am here, ”he said. The councilor also said that he is very close to his brother and the whole family is very concerned. “My little brother,” he lamented. Luiz has two young children.
