The death toll has risen to five since a house collapsed in Florida, authorities say. Miami-Dade Mayor Daniela Levin Kava noted the number of foreigners had fallen to 156, and three more bodies had been found.
"Our top priority remains to find and save and save every life we can," he told reporters. Part of the building collapsed Thursday morning as many residents were asleep. The cause of the collapse is still unclear.
However, a 2018 engineer report released on Saturday highlighted a "grave mistake" in the original design of the Champlain Tower on the beach at Surfside, near Miami. According to him, the damage prevented water from flowing from the building's foundation.

The team used machines, drones, and specially trained dogs to locate survivors. Rescue operations were temporarily hampered on Saturday after a fire broke out among the rubble. Levine Kava said the death toll rose after rescue workers found the body in ruins on Saturday, with four of the five confirmed deaths identified - including the mother of a young boy who was rescued alive from the wreckage.
The mayor of Miami-Dade said the search also found some human remains but warned that the process of identifying these victims was "challenging" and relied on DNA testing. According to missing persons, people from Israel and Latin America are missing. According to Paraguay's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, six of its citizens were reported missing, including the first lady's sister.
Local officials gave the family hotel rooms and food while waiting to hear from loved ones.
What questions does the 2018 report ask?
Engineer Frank Morabito announced the lack of proper drainage was a "systemic problem" due to the lack of "in development of the original contract documents." In addition, he noted that he described the concrete platform below the pool deck as a "major structural damage."
