Authorities confirmed on Friday that the body of one of the four missing construction workers from the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse has been recovered. 

The individual was identified as 38-year-old Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval. 

The Unified Command, after locating the missing worker with salvage dive teams around 10:30 a.m. 

ET, notified the Maryland Department of State Police. State police, in collaboration with dive teams from law enforcement partners, recovered Suazo-Sandoval.

Suazo-Sandoval, a father of two, migrated from Honduras over 17 years ago. According to Gustavo Torres, the executive director of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), Suazo-Sandoval had dreams of starting a small business and brought joy and humor to his family.

The collapse occurred when a cargo ship crashed into the Baltimore bridge early on March 26, resulting in a near-total collapse of the span in the Port of Baltimore. Suazo-Sandoval was one of six construction workers killed in the incident.

The bodies of two workers were recovered the day after the collapse. 

They were found trapped in a red pickup truck submerged in approximately 25 feet of water near the middle span of the bridge. 

The workers were identified as Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, 35, and Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, 26.

Three workers remain missing and are presumed dead. 

They include Miguel Luna, a father of five from El Salvador, and two others from Guatemala and Mexico.

Colonel Roland L. Butler, Jr., superintendent of the Maryland Department of State Police, stated, "There are families still waiting to hear if we have found their loved one.

I can promise you, we are fully committed to finding closure for each of these families."

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott expressed gratitude for the first responders and said, "We will continue to do everything in our power to support these families and provide whatever they need to persevere through this unthinkable tragedy."

The recovery of Suazo-Sandoval occurred on the same day that President Joe Biden visited the site of the collapse, thanking first responders for their efforts and meeting with family members of the victims. 

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre praised the workers as "hard workers laboring in the middle of the night to repair potholes on a bridge that tens of thousands of travelers crossed every day."
