SURFSIDE, Fla. â Search crews working through harsh weather have recovered one more victim from the rubble of Surfside condo collapse, authorities announced Tuesday morning.
On the 20th day since Champlain Towers South suddenly collapsed in the middle of the night, Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava told reporter 95 people have been confirmed dead. Of the victims, 85 have been identified.
Torrential downpours forced county crews to pump water out of the lower levels of the collapse site Monday afternoon and evening, the mayor said. The weather has at times stalled a dual-track effort to recover human remains while preserving forensic evidence that can help investigators understand what led to the buildingâs failure.
