THE FIRE NEVER REALLY ENDED — CRANS-MONTANA MOURNS AGAIN Another goodbye has been forced into existence. Another family shattered. Nearly one month after the inferno tore through Le Constellation on New Year’s Eve, Crans-Montana is once again wrapped in grief.

Farewell to a young soul — the 42nd victim of the devastating Crans-Montana fire.

Another goodbye. 💔🕯️
Time has moved on, but the pain hasn’t. One month after the tragic night at Le Constellation bar, Crans-Montana is forced to mourn again. An 18-year-old boy, who had been fighting quietly for weeks in a Zurich hospital, could not make it home. His heart stopped after a long, exhausting battle — proof that this tragedy never truly ended with the flames.

The New Year’s Eve disaster continues to strike even in silence. The toll now stands at 42. Forty-two broken lives. Forty-two families changed forever. Because some tragedies don’t end when the fire is out — they follow time, they live in absence, and they reopen wounds day after day.
Today, Crans-Montana is still crying. And the most painful truth remains: this is a goodbye that should never have had to be written. 🖤

The horrific bar fire in a Swiss ski resort has claimed another victim a month after the New Year’s Eve tragedy, bringing the grim death toll of the fire to 41.

An 18-year-old died in hospital from injuries sustained in the Swiss Alpine bar fire at a Zurich hospital on Saturday.

The Swiss public prosecutor broke the grim news in a statement today. The prosecutor said in a statement that no further information on the status of the investigation will be provided at this stage.

It has previously been reported that investigators believe sparkling candles atop Champagne bottles ignited foam on the bar’s ceiling when they came too close at the packed Le Constellation bar in the ski resort of Crans-Montana.

The horrific blaze broke out less than two hours after midnight on January 1 as partygoers attempted to flee the burning bar and get to safety.

Investigations are currently underway into whether soundproofing material on the ceiling conformed with regulations and if the sparkler candles were permitted for use in the bar, which last had a fire safety inspection in 2019.

French couple Jacques and Jessica Moretti, the bar owners, have been made the subjects of a criminal investigation by Swiss prosecutors. They are currently under suspicion of negligent homicide, negligent bodily harm and causing a fire by negligence.

Jacques Moretti was given three months of pre-trial detention by the court of compulsory measures in the south-western Valais region on January 12. However on January 23 it ordered his release on bail.
