CIUDAD JUAREZ — A Mexican hospital official says the death toll from an explosion last month at a candy factory near the U.S. border has risen to eight.

Government health system spokesman Rosendo Gaytan says a 30-year-old employee of the factory Dulces Blueberry in Ciudad Juarez died Tuesday at a hospital in Guadalajara, where he was transferred to be treated for third-degree burns.
