As Bangkok kicks-off an investigation into a fire in a bar last Sunday, three people among the wounded have died. The number of deaths from the blaze now stand at 30.
Three more victims succumbed to their injuries pushing up the tally from the initial 27 dead, local media reports said.
More than 70 people continue to receive treatment in hospitals, with 24 of them in critical condition, officials said.
Meanwhile, police are probing possible negligence including obstructed emergency exits as people scrambled to flee the flames. Most killed were found trapped in windowless bathrooms.
Bangkok blaze deadliest in 17 years
An explosive fire ripped through Rong Beer Na Lat Phrao, a pub near the popular Chatuchak Weekend Market in northern Bangkok late on Sunday night.
Footage circulating on social media showed a powerful inferno jetting out of the bar’s doorway as people ran to escape.
