Officials have identified the final missing victim from last month’s Miami condo collapse in Florida.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said officials identified 54-year-old Estelle Hedaya, the final missing victim of the 98 killed in the June 24 building collapse in Surfside.
“Nothing we can say or do will bring back these 98 angels who left behind grieving families, beloved friends, loved ones across this community and across the world,” Levine Cava said at a news conference on Monday. “But we have done everything possible to bring closure to the families.”

Her announcement comes days after authorities ended the search for bodies at the site, which concluded on Friday.
Crews have spent weeks excavating the disaster site for missing victims and have cleared millions of pounds of debris from the location where the large building section once stood before the June 24 collapse. The search for survivors shifted to a recovery mission on July 7, and 242 people have been accounted for.

“They are doing this with tremendous care and real hope that they can bring things to the family members,” the mayor added.
