BEIJING, May 9 (Xinhua) -- The body of a construction worker who died six weeks ago at a Beijing subway site was recovered on Tuesday, putting an end to the search for the bodies of six migrant workers.

The body of the sixth victim, Zhou Yongquan, was found during construction at 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday. Zhou was from Danling county, in the southwestern Sichuan Province. His nephew Zhou Jie, 18, died in the same subway tunnel collapse on March 28.

Rescue work was halted five days after the accident amid fears of further cave-ins.

The accident occurred at a construction site on the No. 10 Subway Line in Haidian Nanlu Road between the northern third and fourth ring roads in Haidian District, northwest Beijing.

Compensation for the dead workers' families ranged from 200,000to 400,000 yuan (25,640 to 51,280 U.S. dollars), with the poorest being paid the most.

The No. 10 subway line runs east to west, through Zhongguancun high-tech zone in the city's northwest and the diplomatic areas in the east, and will connect to a separate line running directly to the Olympic Village north of Beijing when completed in 2008.

The accident was the fifth on the No. 10 subway line since construction began in 2005.

In a joint circular issued on Tuesday, the General Administration of Work Safety and Ministry of Construction attributed the accident to poor management, as the prime contractor of the project knew little of the complicated underground situation and allowed construction to continue when signs of a cave-in were detected.

Investigators say the construction site is prone to cave-ins because it used to be a pond surrounded by graves and cropland and was loosely filled with sand in the 1950s.

China Railway 12th Bureau Group Co. initially failed to report the accident to municipal authorities and mounted its own rescue operation instead.

In an alleged cover-up attempt, project managers ordered all workers to stay at the construction site and not to talk to the media or police. They also confiscated most of the workers' cell phones.

The municipal authority learned of the accident almost eight hours after the collapse, after a worker from central Henan Province called his family, who then sought help from police in their hometown.

Police detained 10 people in connection with the accident, including the site supervisor and tunnel designers.
