Rescue workers recovered the remains of bodies from the charred wreckage of an auto parts plant in the central city of Daejeon.
170 workers were inside the complex belonging to Anjun Industrial when the blaze broke out at around 1:17 p.m. local time on Friday.
The first victim was said to be found in cardiac arrest on the second floor and was later pronounced dead. Nine other victims were discovered in a gym on the third floor.
