Australian rescue crews have recovered the body of one of three miners trapped underground after a gold mine collapse in the island state of Tasmania.
He has been identified as 44-year-old Larry Paul Knight from Launceston.
Two other men Brant Webb and Todd Russell are still missing.
Fourteen other miners were able to climb to safety after an earth tremor triggered a rock fall in the mine on Tuesday night.
