Three miners who were trapped in a coal mine flood Sunday have all been found dead, said authorities in northwest China's Shaanxi Province on Friday.
A tunnel of Chang'an Coal Mine, owned by Xundong Coal Industry Company in Xunyi, flooded around 6 p.m. Oct.5 while 16 miners were working underground.
Thirteen escaped unhurt the following day, but three remained trapped, said a local source.
The local government organized a rescue operation shortly after the mine flooded.
The remains of the last miner was found by the rescuers early Friday.
The cause of the flood has not been released.
