The provisional death toll in the roof collapse of the Jet Set nightclub in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, in the early hours of Tuesday has risen to 218.

One of the victims is Italian chef Luca Massimo Iemolo, remembered with deep sorrow by the ‘Sarah Restaurant’ in Santo Domingo where he worked. In a message posted on Instagram, the restaurant’s staff expressed sorrow for the tragedy and paid tribute to the figure of the chef, described as a passionate, generous and respected professional: ‘His love for flavours and his way of working as a team have left a mark that we will not forget’.
