Work on ex-Sheraton Hotel site halted after human remains are found

Building work on the construction site at
the former Sheraton Hotel in Sint-Joost-ten-Node (Brussels) has been halted
after construction workers encountered human remains.

The prosecutor’s office ordered a halt to
the work at the construction site on the Rogierplein in downtown Brussels and
immediately launched an investigation.  “The
investigation has just started” confirms Willemien Baert of the prosecutor’s office.  “We can’t provide any additional information at
the minute”.

Two people have already died at the
construction site.  Last year a
36-year-old Portuguese worker fell to his death from scaffolding 30 storeys
high.  A few weeks later a fire-fighter was
killed after he ended up under collapsed escalators while tackling a blaze.
