At least 90 people have been confirmed dead since a 12-story residential building partially collapsed in South Florida last month.
The death toll of the devastating partial collapse of a 12-story residential building in Surfside, Florida last month rose to 90, officials announced Sunday. The recovery effort entered its 18th day on Sunday and officials said 62 victims are now identified, 217 people are accounted for, and 31 are potentially unaccounted for. Officials would not provide an estimated timetable for the end of recovery efforts. The disaster occurred on June 24 around 1:15 a.m. local time at the Champlain Towers South condominium in the small, beachside town of Surfside, about 6 miles north of Miami Beach. Approximately 55 of the oceanfront complex's 136 units were destroyed, according to officials. The rest of the building was demolished on Sunday night, due to concerns over structural integrity and an incoming tropical storm.More Related News
