Four more victims found in Florida condo rubble; storm approaches

Survivors prepare for the first funeral of those killed when Champlain Towers South collapsed as more than 100 remain missing.

The death toll from a collapsed Miami-area condominium high-rise rose to 32 on Tuesday as rescue workers dealt with the threat of wind and rain from a tropical storm and relatives of the deceased prepared for the disaster’s first funeral. A total of 113 people are reported missing 12 days after roughly half of the Champlain Towers South building came tumbling down early in the morning on June 24. Hundreds of rescue workers expanded their search following the controlled demolition of the remainder of the building on July 4. “Truly they live to save lives, and they’ve pushed ahead no matter what is thrown in their way,” Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said at a media news conference.
