Thirty victims were sent to the hospitals, with four of them warded at Sri Aman Hospital and 26 at the Sarawak General Hospital in Kuching.[1] Subsequent report from local news had reported that three workers had died during the explosion.[2] The dead has been identified as Tun Tun Win from Myanmar, Pang Chung Hyok from North Korea and Mardianto from Indonesia.[5] All the victims managed to run out from the mine but the three who died were said to have consumed water which affected their internal organs due to the intense heat of their bodies.[6] Another three victims has been sent to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Sabah.[6] The mine had been sealed off over the next 48 hours due to high levels of methane and flooding in the lower passages,[6] Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department had recorded a reading of 20 percent, which any reading between 20 and 40 percent means the air is ideal for ignition. The department's also worried as the mine produced more carbon dioxide, adding that rescuers no longer trusted the company's supervisors and engineers as many switches inside the mine might not have been insulated properly.[7] On 25 November, another victim, an Indonesian known as Acmad Zidin died while receiving treatment at the Sarawak General Hospital.[2]
