Published
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava announced Friday that two more bodies had been found in the Surfside building collapse, raising the death toll to 22.
The update came just hours after they said the death toll had risen to 20 following the discovery of two more bodies, including the seven-year-old daughter of a Miami firefighter.
The young girl was the third child to be recovered from the collapse site in the oceanfront town of Surfside, next to Miami Beach.
Levine Cava also she had signed an emergency order authorizing the demolition of the building which partially collapsed in Surfside, Fla. last week. She said it would not be demolished until engineers sign off on next steps and said they are still determining the best timeline to begin the demolition.
The search for victims in the rubble, which was suspended for most of Thursday over safety concerns, proceeded on Friday with greater caution and with a watchful eye on a hurricane that could strike Florida within days.
There are 126 people still missing and feared buried beneath tons of pulverized concrete, twisted metal and splintered lumber as the search stretched into its ninth day.
The number of people unaccounted for dropped by 17 from Thursday's figure. Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava told a news briefing that the totals were fluid, in part because investigators sometimes learned of additional family members when determining whether missing residents were safe.
