Portugal is reeling after 16 people died and around 20 were injured when Lisbon's famous Glória funicular cable railway derailed on Wednesday evening.
Five of those killed were Portuguese along with three Britons, two South Koreans, two Canadians, an American, a Ukrainian, a Swiss and a French national, police say.
The death of Andre Jorge Gonçalves Marques, who worked as the brake guard on the funicular, has been reported by the Portuguese transport union Sitra.
The union expressed condolences to victims' families and highlighted Mr. Marques as a dedicated and kind professional.
Pedro Manuel Alves Trindade, a former volleyball referee and leader of the Lisbon Volleyball Association, was also among the deceased, along with theatre director Kayleigh Smith and her partner Will Nelson, recognized as British victims.
Two residents from Quebec were also named as victims, described by their colleagues as significantly impactful in their field.
The incident has prompted a national day of mourning in Portugal as the community comes together to grieve and support the families affected by this tragic event.
