Authorities identified three additional victims of the Champlain Towers South building collapse in Surfside, Florida on Monday.
The bodies of Frank Kleiman, 55, and Michael David Altman, 50, were both recovered and identified on Monday. Marcus Joseph Guara, 52, was recovered on Saturday and identified on Monday.
The identities of all 11 confirmed fatalities have been released, with names of the other eight people who died in the collapse having been previously released.
Guara lived at the building with his 41-year-old wife Ana Guara and their two daughters, aged 4 and 11—all of whom have been missing since the building collapse.
Kleiman lived with his newlywed wife Anne and her son Luis. His brother Jay Kleiman was visiting from Puerto Rico to attend the funeral of a friend who died from COVID-19. He was staying with their mother Nancy Kleiman. They are also missing.
The family of Altman searched local hospitals and filed a missing person report before the remains of their loved one was found in the rubble, according to WPLG. He lived on the eleventh floor of the building.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said on Monday that 150 people believed to have been in the building were still unaccounted for, while 136 had been accounted for.
“The search and rescue continues,” Levin Cava told reporters. “Our teams have made significant progress on the site… These numbers are very fluid and they will change.”
Newsweek reached out to Levin Cara for additional information and comment.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
