The helicopter's crew — two police officers and
a civilian pilot — were all killed when it crashed through the
roof of The Clutha pub on Friday night, which was packed with
patrons taking in a local Ska band's show.
Police said Monday that another body had been found inside the
pub, bringing the total of fatalities inside to six.
Officials have not ruled out the possibility of finding more
bodies once the helicopter is cleared away.
Scottish Fire and Rescue Service assistant chief officer David
Goodhew said the helicopter is "extensively damaged" and that
prior to the lift crews had been tunneling underneath the
helicopter to try to find any further casualties.
Authorities say 12 people remain hospitalized with injuries from
the accident, three of whom are in intensive care.
