00:01Hundreds of mourners took to the streets of Kran, Montana on Sunday to remember victims
00:06of the New Year's Eve bar fire that killed at least 40 people in Switzerland.
00:13This man said he had learned just minutes ago that one of his son's friends died, adding
00:23that another one is undergoing hospital treatment for burns.
00:28Police said teenagers as young as 14 and 15 years old were among the victims, while hundreds
00:34were injured, including many with severe burns in what has become one of the worst disasters
00:39in recent Swiss history.
00:41The Swiss government said on Sunday that dozens of patients have been transferred to specialized
00:46clinics in Belgium, France, Germany and Italy.
00:50Many of the victims remain unidentified.
00:5389-year-old Pierre Prolong fears his granddaughter Emily and her friends may be among the dead.
01:01As of Saturday afternoon, the family had not heard from her, although they have a direct
01:06line to the authorities.
01:07Prolong described the wait for information as a very great suffering.
01:11I think, or rather, I have the feeling that probably she has entered into a new life, he said.
01:23The region's chief prosecutor has said the fire was likely started by sparklers held too
01:32close to the ceiling at the Constellation Bar.
01:36The prosecutor said the two people who ran the bar are under criminal investigation on suspicion
01:40of offences including homicide by negligence.
01:43Switzerland will hold a national day of mourning on Friday.
