The roof of the Jet Set nightclub in Santo Domingo collapsed in the early hours of Tuesday morning with at least 300 people inside.

The collapse happened during a performance of merengue artist Rubby Pérez and his orchestra, authorities said. Pérez’s body was recovered from the scene on Wednesday morning, emergency services said. Two former Major League Baseball players are also among the victims.

An official statement from the country’s Emergency Center Operations on Wednesday said that “all reasonable possibilities of finding more survivors” had been exhausted, and the focus of the operation is now on recovering bodies.
