Maynor Yassir Suazo Sandova was identified as one of the victims from the Baltimore Bridge Collapse
Divers were back in the choppy waters off of Maryland Wednesday morning to try to recover the bodies of six construction workers who died in the Baltimore Bridge collapse after it was hit by a huge cargo ship.
The six men whose bodies are still to be recovered are originally from Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.
Guatemala's foreign affairs ministry says two of the victims are Guatemalans. In a news release, the victims were not named but the ministry said they were 26 and 35 years old originally from San Luis, Petén and Camotán, Chiquimula, respectively.
The Mexican Consulate in Washington confirmed in a Facebook post that Mexican nationals were among the victims but did not release any further information.

The non-profit organization identified one of the victims as El Salvador native Miguel Luna.
"He is a husband, a father of three, and has called Maryland his home for over 19 years," Casa executive director Gustavo Torres said in a statement.
Another of the workers was named as Maynor Yassir Suazo Sandova, according to the Associated Press. He was reportedly from Honduras. The married father of two had been in the U.S. for 18 years.
Jesus Campos said the missing men all work for Brawner Builders, a private company that was contracted to do work on the bridge.
Campos told the Washington Post that he was not working Monday but was woken early Tuesday by a co-worker with news of the accident.
"I'm very sad right now," Campos told the paper. "These are my co-workers and friends."
He says the crew would have been on a lunch break and probably sitting near their vehicles when the ship hit the bridge.
The NTSB has boarded the cargo ship that crashed into the Baltimore Key Bridge early Tuesday morning and was able to recover the so-called "black box" that could shed light on what went wrong with the massive freighter.
NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy says investigators are looking at the data and hope to share more information later on Wednesday about what the data said and a timeline of events before the fatal accident.
