MOSCOW - The death toll from the airliner crash in Moscow has risen to five, the Healthcare Ministry said Sunday.
A 25-year-old woman, a flight attendant, died in Moscow's City Clinical Hospital 7 on Sunday, increasing the number of deaths in the Saturday crash from four to five, the ministry said.
Two other people, including a 26-year-old woman and a 35-year-old man, remained in intensive care at a local hospital, the ministry said.
A third patient, a 26-year-old man, underwent spinal surgery earlier Sunday, healthcare authorities officials said.
A Tu-204 owned by Russian airline Red Wings veered off a runway and caught fire Saturday while landing at Moscow's Vnukovo Airport with eight people, all of them crew members, aboard.
Those who died Saturday were the pilot, co-pilot, flight engineer and another attendant, Red Wings said.
Earlier Sunday, the Russian Investigative Committee said it has identified all of the people killed in the crash and would question the injured crew members as soon as their conditions stabilized.
