Of the four men killed, three were carried with the wreckage into the Athabasca river. They were: W. S. O'Brien, the superintendent of the bridge construction gang, Vancouver; J. P. Connaghan, Vancouver, and Thomas Scott. Dave Robb, of Vancouver, was killed on the bridge. The body of O'Brien was recovered some time ago, but that of Connaghan is still in the water.
