Mine managers lied, hid 17 bodies to minimize blast

The managers of an illegal coal mine in China hid the bodies of 17 dead miners after a gas explosion earlier this month and underreported the accident death toll, the official Xinhua news agency said on Thursday.

Officials at the Jiajiapu Coal Mine in Shanxi Province reported 19 miners had died in the accident on July 2, but a total of 36 were actually killed, Xinhua said.

An investigation revealed that mine officials shipped bodies to another town to cover up the death toll, it said. The unreported bodies were found in a hospital and a crematorium in Ulanqab, Inner Mongolia, Xinhua said.
