Argentine rescuers on Thursday recovered the body of a second victim from the rubble of a ten-story hotel that collapsed earlier this week in the seaside resort of Villa Gesell.

The victim was an “elderly woman” who was identified by family members by a tattoo on her arm, said Javier Alonso, security minister for Buenos Aires province.

Another six people were confirmed missing after the apartment hotel, which was undergoing unauthorized renovations, collapsed in the early hours of Tuesday.

Rescuers believe that two to three others, who have not yet been identified, could also be trapped under the rubble.

Four people, including three construction workers, have been arrested on suspicion of aggravated negligence in connection with the hotel collapse, which crushed an adjacent building, killing a man in his eighties and injuring his 79-year-old wife.

The woman was rescued in an hour-long operation on Tuesday after she was heard banging on a pipe.
