More than 20 calls have been received Saturday at the Forensic Medicine Service in Pleven by people looking for their relatives who may have died in the fire in the Sofia-Kardam train Thursday night.

This was announced by the Pleven pathologist Petar Dekov who told the Bulgaria private Darik Radio that often several calls referred to one and the same person.

"No one can say for sure that after the second inspection of the burned railway carriages there would not be body parts found that do not belong to the eight already known corpses", Dekov said. He added that the Forensic Medicine Service would first try to identify the persons itself as well as possible, and then would resort to DNA tests if needed.

"The eight corpses are with missing limbs, and are severely charred. The relatives cannot recognize them, and that is why we are not showing them to anybody", Dekov also declared.

Meanwhile, it was announced that the director of the National Archaeological Institute at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Professor Rasho Rashev was also traveling in the Sofia-Kardam train.
