MEXICO CITY, Oct. 4 -- Mexico City suspended on Wednesday the search for survivors in buildings brought down by the magnitude 7.1 earthquake on September 19, after rescue workers brought out the body of a man from an office building.

Mexico's undersecretary for human rights, Roberto Campa, announced the end of rescue efforts after the final victim was found dead in the ruins of an office building in the central neighborhood of Roma.

For the last two weeks, rescue corps from around the world have labored at Alvaro Obregon 286, with 49 bodies being found in the rubble.

"The task was concluded, all the bodies were rescued and handed over in Alvaro Obregon, as confirmed by their families," Campa wrote on Twitter.

The building was the only one of the 38 which collapsed in Mexico City where rescue efforts were still ongoing.

"This was the last spot, Alvaro Obregon, there will no longer be the search for more people...we no longer have any missing people," said Mexico City Mayor, Miguel Angel Mancera, in a television interview.

According to Mancera, Mexico City saw 228 deaths, with a total of 369 nationwide.

74 people died in Morelos, 45 in Puebla, 15 in the State of Mexico, six in Guerrero and one in Oaxaca.

The tasks will now focus on removing the rubble of the fallen buildings and avoid further collapse.
