No, he has been pulled from the rubble, alive, as of reports from 60 minutes ago.

Nelson Cruz's sister, a provincial mayor, was killed. A tragedy for so many.

Played for 13 teams, second most by any player. Both Cards and Rats. Longest team he ever played for was Houston, five years.

Man, this sucks. He was always one of my favorite relievers. I remember I was so (upset) when we traded Rasmus in that deal, but was psyched to get Dotel on the team.

ESPN says that the death toll is now up to 44 dead and 160 injured in the collapse. Another one of those is Nelson Cruz’s sister.
