Four people in East London, South Africa, are in critical condition after attending a party that turned tragic. The Eastern Cape Premier's office tells CNN that the four remain under observation in the hospital and authorities are waiting to question them.
Five bodies are still unidentified after Sunday morning's incident, which left 22 young people dead, East Cape Premier's Spokesperson Khuselwa Rantjie told CNN.com.
The youngest of whom was only 13 is the subject of investigation into the cause of the death of the minors.
Rantjie says the owner of the bar has not been arrested but the province's Liquor Board will shut it down Monday to allow for investigations to be completed.
South African Police said Sunday it is deploying'maximum resources' to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of the teenagers at the tavern.
The families of the victims were comforted by South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa. The President's thoughts are with families who have lost children as well as families who are awaiting confirmation of how their children may have been affected, a statement from the presidency said. The President expects the law to take its course after investigations into the tragedy, according to the statement.
