 Grieving relatives scuffled with police today as the death toll from China's worst mining disaster for almost two years rose to 104.
Authorities said they feared another four workers trapped underground after a huge gas explosion at the mine on Saturday were already dead.
Hundreds of rescue workers have been at the pit in Heilongjiang province, close to the Russian border, but no survivors have been found since the blast.
Chinese state media reported today that safety staff knew gas had reached dangerous levels and were evacuating miners when the explosion – so powerful that it was felt 10km away – happened 500 metres below ground.

 A stalled cleanup of a Bahrain Bay, now stagnant after years of neglect and misuse, is finally about to start.
However, special safety precautions will have to be taken due to fears that hazardous gases in Tubli Bay could actually explode during work.
Those gases reportedly include high levels of methane and it is understood toxic sludge in the bay is up to seven metres deep in some places.
However, authorities have now set aside BD15 million for the bay renovation, the councillor following up the project, Abbas Mahfoodh, told the GDN.
