The death toll in Friday’s plane crash in Cuba rose to 111 as one of the three survivors, 23-year-old Grettel Landrove Font, died at the hospital.
According to the Cuba state-media reports, Font, who was flamenco dancer and studying engineering, succumbed to her wounds in a hospital in Havana.
The other two survivors -- 19-year-old Mailen Diaz and 39-year-old Emiley Sanchez -- remain in critical condition, hospital sources said.
The Boeing 737, which en route to Holguin with 114 passengers and crew on board -- had crashed shortly after take-off from Havana's Jose Marti International Airport on Friday.
The cause of the crash remains unknown while a special commission has been investigating it.
