Four more victims were recovered Thursday, Levine Cava said.
Seventy-six people are potentially unaccounted for, the mayor said in a news conference Thursday afternoon, two weeks after the Champlain Towers South condo building collapse, which is among the deadliest mass casualty building collapses in US history, not including acts of terror or fires.
A total of 200 people have been accounted for, 40 have been identified, and of those, 39 families have been notified, Levine Cava said.
Authorities transitioned to search and recovery at midnight overnight, after determining the viability of life in the rubble was low, Miami-Dade County Fire Chief Alan Cominsky said Wednesday.
While multiple investigations are being conducted, police will look to see if a crime was committed. Butchko said detectives are relying heavily at the beginning on those with construction backgrounds. Have the experts structural engineers, experts on erosion with the concrete they will probably do some testing with items that are weakened to see what that is. They should be able to pinpoint an area where this all started and why it started, Butchko said. The next step is to see who is responsible. Is it something that could have been prevented?
Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said that the grand jury will also be investigating. The evidence detectives find there will be presented to grand jurors.
