A man dies while cleaning the ash roof of the volcano on La Palma

The Dead body of a man was found this Saturday in a house located in the exclusion perimeter of The Plains of Aridane (The Palm). The deceased was missing since yesterday, after the people who have permission to access the area withdrew.

The body has been found in a house in the Corazoncillo neighborhood, located on the border between Los Llanos de Aridane and El Paso, and it is being investigated whether his death is due to a fall from the roof while cleaning the volcanic ash or other circumstances.

The mayor of El Paso, Sergio Rodriguez, has indicated to Efe the deceased is the owner of the house and has indicated that the roofs of that area were subjected to an ash cleaning a few days ago.

Rodríguez recalled that the teams of volunteers who clean up the ash are usually made up of the homeowners, who form groups of four or five people to go to clean specific areas.
