BODY OF THIRD CANADIAN RECOVERED IN DEBRIS

-

Global Affairs Canada says the body of a third Canadian has been recovered from the rubble of a condominiu­m building that collapsed near Miami in late June. A spokesman for the department did not identify the latest victim, who is among four Canadians believed to have perished after the Champlain Towers South condominiu­m building fell on June 24. Global Affairs has said three separate Canadian families have been impacted by the collapse. Spokesman Jason Kung says consular officials are assisting the family of the latest Canadian identified. A second deceased Canadian was identified on July 10. On July 5, the remains of former Montrealer Ingrid “Itty” Ainsworth, 66, and her Australian-born husband were recovered from the site. Three weeks after rescue crews began searching for victims, officials said they were nearing the end of their search for those trapped in the ruins. In total, 97 people have been confirmed dead — young couples, entire families and retirees whose footprints stretched across multiple continents.
