The final victim of the 98 people killed in the collapse of the condominium building collapse in Surfside, Florida, has been identified. Gregarious,54-year-old Estelle Hedaya was the last victim whose name was released, ending what her relatives described as a torturous four-week wait, The Associated Press reported Monday. Her identity was confirmed to AP by her younger brother, Ikey Hedaya, just days after rescuers officially concluded the painstaking and emotionally heavy task of removing layers of dangerous debris and pulling out dozens of bodies. “Today I can report that because of the sustained heroic efforts the last remaining missing person has now been accounted for and identified and the family notified,” Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said in a press briefing Monday. In total,98 victims have been identified, she said — 97 who were recovered from the collapse and one person who died in the hospital – and all the families notified.
