All five trapped workers at Codelco's El Teniente copper mine have been found dead, a regional prosecutor said on Sunday, after rescue teams cleared more than two dozen meters (78 feet) of underground passages that collapsed in a strong tremor last week.

Some 100 people were involved in search for workers at El Teniente copper mine, the world’s largest underground mine.

The director of Chile’s El Teniente copper mine says the bodies of four out of five miners who had been trapped in a collapsed section of the mine since Thursday have been found.
