Swiss authorities have begun investigating the managers of the bar that saw more than 40 people die after a deadly fire ripped apart the bar during its New Year’s Eve celebrations.

Local police have said the two owners are suspected of negligent homicide, negligent bodily harm and causing fire by negligence after more than 115 people were left injured from the blaze.

The most recent figures suggest 47 people died after the fire broke out, only an hour after the New Year was chimed in at Le Constellation bar in the Swiss ski resort of Crans-Montana.
