The death toll in the high-rise condo building collapse in the Miami Beach area has risen to nine people, with another 10 people injured and dozens of residents still unaccounted for.
One of the injured residents died in the hospital and additional remains were found among the wreckage, bringing the death toll up to nine, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said.
Officials also found additional sets of unidentified human remains at the site of the Champlain Towers South, which collapsed in Florida's Surfside suburb Thursday.
Engineers are closely monitoring the site to ensure the infrastructure is safe for search and rescue teams to continue their efforts, as part of the condominium complex did remain intact following the collapse.
