Death toll in Florida condo collapse climbs to 9, with 150 still missing

The official death toll climbed to nine on Sunday, with more than 150 people still missing, after a high-rise building collapsed in Surfside in Florida on June 26.

The official death toll from the partial collapse of a high-rise condominium complex near Miami rose to nine on Sunday, with more than 150 people still missing, as rescue teams picked through the rubble for a fourth day without finding further signs of life. What caused nearly half the 12-story building to cave in on itself in the wee hours of Thursday as residents slept has yet to be determined, but a 2018 engineer's inspection report found major structural deterioration in the parking garage beneath the 40-year-old tower.
