Eleven dead in Florida building collapse, 151 unaccounted for: official

SURFSIDE, United States, June 29, 2021 (AFP) - Two bodies have been recovered from the debris of a Florida apartment building that collapsed last week, bringing the confirmed death toll to 11, with another 151 people still unaccounted for, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said Monday.

 

   "This morning we did recover two bodies. That brings the count to 11. The total number of those accounted for is now 135. And the total unaccounted for, 151," Levine Cava told a press conference at the scene in Surfside, near Miami Beach.

   "Our detectives are working right now, in real time, to audit this list," Levine Cava said, adding that the numbers were still "very fluid, and they will continue to change."
