Mother, daughter should not be alive after condo collapse Daniella Silva
SURFSIDE, Fla. A mother and daughter who paramedics said “should not be alive” after what they went through during the condo tower collapse are on the long road to recovery, a relative said Friday.
But the husband and father who lived with them remained among the missing after crews shifted their search and rescue efforts this week to a recovery operation.
Angela and Edgar Gonzalez were on the ninth floor of Champlain Towers South with their daughter Deven, 16, when it collapsed June 24 in the early morning. Another daughter was not home at the time.
