Confirmed death toll in Surfside condo collapse reaches 27

The bodies of three people were discovered in the rubble of the collapsed condo building in Surfside, Florida as rescue efforts resumed on Monday, officials said, bringing the total number of confirmed victims to 27.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said 191 people affected by the early-morning June 24 collapse have been accounted for, leaving 118 unaccounted for as of Monday.  Search and rescue personnel searched areas of the building that were accessible, including in closets and under beds, for pets as well as placed live traps on balconies to try to catch any pets who may have still been at the site ahead of the building's controlled demolition, she said.
