A teenager injured in a New Year’s fire that engulfed a bar in a Swiss ski resort has died in the hospital, taking the death toll from the disaster to 41, the local public prosecutor announces.
“An 18-year-old Swiss national died at a hospital in Zurich on January 31,” the Wallis canton’s public prosecutor Beatrice Pilloud says in a statement.
“The death toll from the fire at Le Constellation bar on January 1, 2026, has now risen to 41.”
