Miami-Dade Police have confirmed that found the bodies of the parents of Argentinian photographer Graciela Cattarossi amid the rubble of the collapsed building Thursday in Surfside. They are Graciela Cattarossi, 86, and Gino Cattarossi, 89.

The photographer was found on Saturday and hours before the identity of her daughter, Stella, 7, was revealed, who was rescued dead by the girl’s father, a city firefighter who works in missions safety.

Graciela and Stella were at the time of the collapse at 1:23 a.m. in apartment 501 in the south tower of the Champlain Towers condominium. There were also the parents of the photographer (Gino and Graciela) and his sister, Andrea, an architect who lives in Pilar who was visiting Miami, whom we have not heard from yet.

Stella’s body was first found, which was rescued from the rubble by the girl’s father, who was estranged from Graciela and was not living in the building. Firefighter by profession in Miami-Dade, He volunteered to work in the rescue as soon as he learned his daughter was among the missing in the collapse of 55 apartments, out of a total of 136.

Fire Department spokesman Captain Ignatius Carroll said Miami Team Florida Special Force 2 found the girl’s body Thursday night and her father had been a 10-year veteran of the service.

“When we let him know that we were close to where his beloved could be, then stood next to some of his other fellow firefightersCarroll explained.

The girl’s father, who was with her brother there, covered the body with his jacket, he placed a little American flag on it and pulled it out of place. The Florida Task Force 2 team escorted him and a group of police and firefighters lined the road, according to Miami’s “Local 10” media.

Although a 7-year-old girl was put on the official list of victims of the tragedy, Stella’s name has not been officially released, at the request of the family. But it started to transcend in the Miami media.

The identity of the girl was later confirmed by Bugle by various sources. As Mariela Porras, a Nicaraguan friend of Graciela who lives in Miami, told this correspondent a few days ago, the father had had a clash in court with the photographer for his daughter.

In fact, Porras met Graciela through an ordinary lawyer who handled such cases. After the body was found, Porras declined to comment.

Another friend of Graciela’s, Kathryn Rooney Vera, told the Miami Herald that her children attend Von Wedell Montessori School with Stella. And he remarked that Graciela’s dedication to her daughter “was unparalleled” and that Stella was always his priority.

She said the mother and daughter were very close and even shared a bed. Vera wondered if her friend had woken up before the disaster and had protected her daughter: “I hope you could put your arms around your little girl“, He said.

At nightfall, police identified Graciela Cattarossi as another of the victims of the tragedy.

A niece of Graciela, Nicole Mejia, has started an initiative on GoFundMe to help the Cattarossi family with donations to deal with these dramatic moments, in particular the three children of Andrea who “miss their brave mother”, says the petition.

Among the Argentines who continue to be wanted are plastic surgeon Andrés Galfrascoli, 44 years old, your partner Fabien Nuñez, 55, and their daughter Sofia, 5 years.

The lawyer resided in another Nicole “Nicky” Langesfeld, 27, with her Venezuelan husband. In another, there was physics student Ilan Naibryf, 21, with his Puerto Rican girlfriend.
