MOSCOW — The only member of a top Russian hockey team to survive a plane crash that killed 44 people died Monday of his injuries in a Moscow hospital.

The Vishnevsky hospital said 26-year-old Alexander Galimov died of the severe burns that covered about 90 percent of his body, despite the best efforts of doctors in its burn unit, considered one of the best in Russia.

The crash of a chartered Yak-42 jet outside the western city of Yaroslavl on Wednesday took the lives of 37 players, coaches and staff of the local Lokomotiv Yaroslavl ice hockey club. The only other person to survive, flight crew member Alexander Sizov, was reportedly moved out of intensive care and into a general ward at Moscow’s Sklifosovsky hospital, the RIA Novosti news agency reported Monday.

An estimated 100,000 people including Prime Minister Vladimir Putin attended a memorial ceremony Saturday in the Lokomotiv ice arena.
