Firefighter's 7-year-old daughter among victims of Florida condo collapse; death toll rises to 20

SURFSIDE, Fla. — A 7-year-old daughter of a Miami firefighter was among two additional bodies found overnight in the rubble of the collapsed condo building outside Miami, raising the death toll to 20 with 128 people still missing.

"This tragedy has haunted so many of us because so many of us know somebody who was in the building or affected by this tragedy," City of Miami Mayor Francis Suarez said Friday at a news conference. "Now, not only do we know someone, but this is someone who is a member of our family, of our fire family."

The father was not involved in the recovery process.

Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava called the night "uniquely difficult" for first responders.
