A search-and-rescue team found a Miami firefighter’s 7-year-old daughter dead Thursday night at the site of the Champlain Towers South collapse in Miami-Dade County’s town of Surfside. The official death toll increased to 20 victims.
On Friday afternoon, Miami Fire Rescue Capt. Ignatius “Iggy” Carroll said Miami’s Urban Search and Rescue Team, Florida Task Force 2, recovered the girl’s body. The grieving firefighter was there to assist in the removal of the body, but he was not the one who recovered the body, Carroll said.
The Miami firefighter used his jacket to drape his daughter’s body and placed a small U.S. flag on the gurney, a witness said. Fire Rescue personnel escorted them through a group of police officers who lined up on the roadway, a witness said.
“We can confirm that a member of our City of Miami Fire Department family has lost his 7-year-old daughter in the collapse,” Miami Fire Rescue Chief Joseph Zahralban said in a statement.
