The search for bodies in the rubble of a collapsed garment factory building in Bangladesh has ended with the death toll at 1,127. The collapse was one of the worst industrial disasters in history. For nearly three weeks rescuers have combed through the wreckage of the eight-story Rana Plaza building outside Dhaka. The last body was recovered Sunday night. On Monday, roughly 100 garment factories near Dhaka were shut down amid protests over the death of a 22-year-old garment worker whose body was found Friday inside a factory. A police official said Parul Akter had committed suicide.
