Cuban ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel confirmed this Thursday the death of Halil Karadeniz, a worker from the Turkish company Karen who was injured in a fire that occurred last week on the power generation barge anchored in Havana Bay.
"We have just been informed that Halil Karadeniz, an employee of the Turkish company Karen, has passed away. He was injured in the accident involving the power generation trailer in Havana. Our condolences to his family, coworkers, and the Government of Turkey," the president stated on his X account.
On September 26, eight people were injured during a fire that occurred while welding work was being carried out on the Turkish barge in Havana Bay.
The Minister of Energy and Mines, Vicente de la O Levy, reported on the social network X that the fire was immediately controlled and that the injured workers were receiving medical attention.
It was later reported that five Turkish nationals and one Cuban remained hospitalized, with varying prognoses, in the "Hermanos Ameijeiras" Clinical Surgical Hospital and the "General Calixto García" University Hospital.
Three of the eight injured are being treated at the Hermanos Ameijeiras Clinical Surgical Hospital.
Doctor Trujillo Sánchez then detailed that they had severe burns: "We are talking about three patients with about 40%, 30%, and 20% burns, respectively," he specified.
According to the medical report, two of them were in extremely critical condition, while the third was in very serious condition.
The burns they presented, in some cases, reached up to 20% of subdermal depth, which further complicated their recovery.
