Second person dies after Madonna stage collapse

A second person has died during construction for Madonna upcoming concerts in Marseilles, France, according to a report on www.edition.cnn.com.



The second fatality was a 32-year-old British citizen, the British Foreign Office and a high-ranking police official said. It was not clear whether the person was a man or woman, but the next of kin had been informed, the Foreign Office said.



A 53-year-old French man was killed yesterday when a crane collapsed at the venue, a fire department spokesman in the southern French city said.



A third person was in critical condition, said Alexandre Lanzalavi, a spokesman for Marseille Hospital. Two other people were hospitalised and required surgery, and seven others were treated and released, Lanzalavi said.



Madonna said Thursday that she was \"devastated\" to hear about the death.
