The dead body of Mario Dimech was found in the debris of the 15th August fireworks factory today, soon after a search resumed this morning.
The factory blew up at 3 p.m. yesterday.
Mr Dimech, 41, was a long serving member of the Nicolo Isourd society.
The blast yesterday was heard over a wide area, but despite initial fears, Mr Dimech was the only casualty. The external festivities of Sta Marija in Mosta have been cancelled.
