Plus a post on the reaction from the snowsport world:
A criminal investigation has been launched into the French couple that ran the Le Constellation bar.
Sparklers on bottles being carried too close to the ceiling were the likely cause of the fire, a preliminary investigation has found.
Beatrice Pilloud, Valais canton lead prosecutor, said in a statement that investigators were looking into whether the acoustic foam on the venue’s ceiling was “the cause of the problem”, as well as “whether it complies with regulations”.
