Death toll rises to 90 in Surfside condominium collapse. Up to 31 remain missing Sunday

Search crews have discovered an additional four victims of the Surfside condominium collapse, Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava announced Sunday, bringing the confirmed death toll from the June 24 catastrophe to 90 with a remaining list of 31 people feared lost under the rubble. Police also released the identities of 10 victims found during the week, including three children ages 5, 6 and 9.

The newly discovered victims announced Sunday were not identified at the daily media briefing that marked the 18th day of the search effort and the fourth since the county-led operation shifted from rescue mode to recovery. Levine Cava announced July 7 that there was no hope of finding anyone alive in the debris from the 12-story oceanfront condominium tower, a decision that shifted the debris site from a rescue operation run by the county fire department to a death investigation overseen by Miami-Dade Police.

“Our team continues to make incredible process de-layering the pile,” Levine Cava said in the media briefing tent set up south of Surfside, in Miami Beach. “And we’re working to bring closures to families as quickly as we possibly can.”

In the grim operation of finding remains of victims, identifying them and notifying family, authorities each day often announce the new tally of the dead and then update the list of identified victims. On Sunday morning, police released the names of 10 victims found between Tuesday and Friday.

1. Big kudos to the people who work on stuff like this, NO WAY could I be anywhere near that

It's gotta be really, really grim and grisly work, the kind that would give you nightmares.

Thank you, rescue workers, police, and all the other workers on site ...

4. Ditto.

I’m sure there are air pockets and cavities, but I assume most were entombed in dust and crushed concrete. As a searcher, imagine digging and have a body part reveal itself. Horrifying all around.

6. And those parts being found are 17 days past their expiration date ...

It's gotta be bad. Real bad ...

2. This was criminal negligence

if there ever is one.

3. At Least The Ultimate Total Appears To Be Decreasing

Still sad, I guess they might find the remaining missing in next week or two

5. I think that by the middle of next week the recovery part will be over (my guess)

Once they got the rest of the building out of their way, and given up on finding anyone alive, the process has speeded way up.

Now the never ending legal battles and finger pointing will begin in earnest. Everybody involved will try to appear uninvolved and everybody that was uninvolved will be waiting for the process server to show up at the door.

The pain will be extended as long as possible and, in the end, the only winners will be lawyers.
