The people of Matanzas said goodbye this Saturday to Alexis Bernardo Labrada Junco, the Cuban worker who died in the accident that occurred in the chimney of the Antonio Guiteras Thermoelectric Plant.
A publication from the official newspaperWorkers reported that this morning that authorities from the province and the town accompanied the funeral services of the 47-year-old worker, originally from Manzanillo in Granma.
Rosalía Junco, the mother of the first fatality of the accident, thanked the flowers sent and "the gesture" to the family of Cuban president Miguel Díaz-Canel.
"I thank you very much for what you did for us, for my son," the woman said through tears and recalled that her son always said: "If one day I die, I want them to cremate me and throw my ashes into the Guiteras fireplace."
The accident that claimed the life of Labrada Junco occurred on Friday afternoon, when four workers from the Specialized Construction and Assembly Company (ECME) who were removing soot and vanadium incrustations inside the 110-meter-high chimney of the CTE were buried after the detachment of an "ashtray" column.
In the first hours, the Salvage and Rescue troops managed to extract Leonel Pérez Montoya (30 years old) and Maikel López Navarro alive.
But Labrada Junco did not suffer the same fate and hisbody was recovered lifeless after 7:00 pm on Friday.
The search for the fourth worker was suspended at dawn due to the danger that the state of the facility represented for rescuers.

The missing worker has been identified as Lázaro Frank Montero Pita, 57 years old.
