Remaining 800 residents evacuated from last block still standing at Le Vele di Scampia, setting for hit TV series

Two people have died and 13 were injured after the partial collapse of a raised passageway on a building in a dilapidated housing estate on the outskirts of Naples, southern Italy.

The incident in Scampia occurred late on Monday night on a third-floor walkway at Vela Celeste, the last and most populous of four sail-shaped blocks due to be demolished as part of a redevelopment scheme in the deprived area.
