The body of Anthony Magrette, the husband to a woman who waited outside the scene of the collapsed Hard Rock Hotel in New Orleans and told reporters she would "wait for him forever," has been recovered, according to the Orleans Parish Coroner's Office.

The coroner's office confirmed in a statement Monday that Magrette's body was the one recovered from the collapse site a day earlier.

Margrette's wife, Nova Espinoza, told WWL-TV she identified her husband at the Orleans Parish Coroner's Office on Sunday night.

Nova Espinoza wouldn't leave her chair in Elk Place, a blocked-off minipark near the site across Canal Street.

Magrette’s Saturday shift began like any other, Espinoza said. She woke him at 4 a.m. and drove him to the site by 6, his wife said.

“I gave him a kiss and told him I loved him,” Espinoza said. “He told me he loved me, and that’s the last time I heard from him.”

He’d been working construction for King Co. for about eight years. By the time he started, Magrette and Espinoza had been married for four years.
