According to Oleg Kolev, chief expert in the Landslides and Ground Reinforcement department of the Varna municipality, by law the houses had to be at least 25 meters away from the concrete bed of the gully. They were built right next to it, instead.

The victim is a child and was found in the ruins of a house, BGNES reports. It is still unclear whether the child is the six-year-old Marin who has been missing since the extreme floods ravaged the Asparuhovo district last week.
