Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said Friday that the bodies were found Thursday evening, after concerns about the structure’s instability prompted a 15-hour halt to the search for survivors. The remains of the two victims were seen being placed into body bags Friday and taken to medical examiner vans parked nearby.
Cava said the 7-year-old daughter of a Miami firefighter was among the victims.
