A woman who was heard pleading for help from the wreckage of the Champlain Towers South in the Miami suburb of Surfside has reportedly been identified.

Responders to the scene of the partial apartment collapse faintly heard the woman’s voice from within the rubble, but were unable to save her. She was one of 98 people who died in the collapse, which officials believe was primarily caused be the degredation of reinforced concrete support in the building’s basement parking garage. The cause of the collapse is still under investigation.
