A 58-year-old man who had been badly burned in a fire near a Żebbuġ fireworks factory died in hospital on Wednesday, police confirmed.
The man, Joe Attard, had been burning some material alongside a 26-year-old man two weeks ago when a fire broke out just outside the factory in Wied Qirda.
Both men were grievously burned and hospitalised following the incident.
On Wednesday, messages of sympathy for Mr Attard's family poured in on social media, with the De Rohan band club thanking Mr Attard, known as il-Germaniz, for his work throughout the years.
Magistrate Audrey Demicoli is leading an inquiry into the incident.
