MEXICO CITY — Emergency workers pulled the last victim’s body Wednesday from the rubble of Mexico’s September 19 earthquake, officials said, as the country turned to rebuilding after a disaster that claimed more than 360 lives. An estimated 1,800 buildings in Mexico City sustained serious damage in the quakes and will have to be repaired or demolished. The office building where the final victim was found -- the last active search site -- crumpled into a heap of tangled steel and concrete during the 7.1-magnitude quake. But no one had been found alive since September 22, and hopes that miracle survivors would be located beneath the rubble gradually faded. The nationwide death toll stands at 369 people, with the largest number killed in Mexico City.
