In a tragic turn of events, a man in his 50s is missing following a catastrophic fire at Liseberg's water park, Oceana, in Gothenburg.

The fire, which erupted on Monday morning just months before the scheduled opening this summer, has led to an extensive search and rescue operation.

However, the efforts to locate the missing man, who was working on the construction site, have been severely hampered by ongoing safety concerns, including the risk of building collapse and continuous smoldering in parts of the structure.

Initial investigations suggest the fire may have started in one of the major water slides, leading to an explosive spread throughout the park.

The incident, which has prompted a police investigation under the classifications of workplace accident and gross negligence, has shocked the local community and raised questions about safety protocols during construction.

Liseberg's management, while devastated by the event, remains hopeful of rebuilding the water park.
