Turkey: Japanese aid worker injured in quake dies

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey’s state-run news agency says a Japanese aid worker has died in a hospital after he was pulled from the rubble of a quake-toppled hotel in eastern Turkey.

The Anatolia agency says Atsushi Miyazaki, of the Association for Aid and Relief, Japan, was severely injured when the Bayram Hotel in the city of Van collapsed Wednesday night. He was pulled out on Thursday.

The agency says rescue workers had performed CPR on Miyazaki for about 15 minutes before taking him to the hospital in serious condition.

His 32-year-old female colleague, Miyuki Konnai, was rescued alive from the wreckage of the same hotel.
