SKOPJE: The death toll from a North Macedonia nightclub fire rose to 63 on Tuesday, when a musician died of his injuries almost seven months after the blaze, the country’s prosecutor said.
Vladimir Blazev-Panco, a 46-year-old singer with the band DNK, died in Skopje early in the day after being hospitalized due to serious injuries, the prosecutor confirmed.
On March 16, a fire at a hip-hop concert in the eastern town of Kocani triggered a stampede in the overcrowded nightclub, leaving dozens dead and injuring nearly 200.
Eight musicians from the band were among the victims of the club fire that caused shock in the small Balkan country.
The blaze was sparked by fireworks in the venue.
