Three elderly people have been confirmed dead after fire gutted a hospital in the town of Tivoli, close to Rome, Italy.
A fourth body was found in the mortuary of the San Giovanni Evangelista Hospital but that victim was believed to have died before the fire broke out shortly before 11 p.m. (2200 GMT) on Friday night.
The fire brigade used turntable ladders to help evacuate around 200 people from the hospital, including a pregnant woman and a number of children, Reuters said.
