Four villagers died on Tuesday when they dismantled their home damaged in a strong earthquake in Southwest China's Yunnan province.

The victims were killed after a wall of the dilapidated house collapsed in Qiaojia county, a worst-hit area by the 6.5-magnitude tremor on Aug 3, according to the local quake relief headquarters.

The disaster killed more than 600 people and destroyed 80,000 homes.
