Tragedy Strikes Switzerland; Kennedy Center Shuts Down Amidst Chaos

Death Toll Rises to 41 in Swiss Bar Fire

Crans-Montana, Switzerland – The death toll from a New Year's Eve fire at Le Constellation bar in the Swiss alpine resort of Crans-Montana has risen to 41, according to Euronews. An 18-year-old who was injured in the blaze died, raising the number of fatalities. The fire, which occurred in the early hours of January 1, 2026, also left 116 people injured, many of whom were teenagers.

Prosecutors believe the fire was likely caused by sparklers igniting soundproof foam on the ceiling of the crowded bar. Most of the victims were young, with some as young as 14 years old, Euronews reported. The incident occurred in the basement of Le Constellation bar during New Year's Eve celebrations.

The investigation is ongoing to determine the exact cause of the fire and whether any safety regulations were violated. The focus remains on how sparklers used during the celebrations could have ignited the soundproof foam, leading to such a devastating outcome.

This shift is attributed to Pretti's death being seen as part of a trend of casualties from the federal crackdown, unlike Good's death which, while tragic, did not resonate as widely across political lines.
