SURFSIDE, Fla. (AP) – Another victim has been identified in a 12-story Florida condominium collapse that killed at least 97 people, authorities said on Saturday.
The Miami-Dade Police Department said in a press release that Theresa Velasquez, 36, was a confirmed death in the June 24 collapse of the Champlain Towers South condo. His body was found on July 8.
She becomes the 95th death identified in the collapse, police said.
The Miami Herald previously reported that Velasquez was an Los Angeles-based executive for the Live Nation event promotion company. She had traveled to Miami to visit her parents at the Surfside apartment, both of whom also died in the collapse.
The bodies of Julio and Angela Velasquez were found and identified earlier.
The recovery effort at the condo site is slowly running out of steam, with possibly another body still buried in the rubble. The work is now shifting to determining what caused the downfall of the beachfront condo.
A judge also thinks about what to do with the site. An outright sale of property, a government purchase for the construction of a memorial, or a combination of both are some of the suggestions.
