Estelle Hedaya was identified as the 98th and final victim of last month’s Surfside condo collapse

Estelle Hedaya was identified as the 98th and final victim of last month’s Surfside condo collapse

The search for people missing from the Miami-area condo collapse concluded on Monday as authorities identified the 98th and final victim who had not been found. Estelle Hedaya, 54, was named as the last unrecovered person, her brother Ikey Hedaya said. Estelle was the only person not recovered as of Friday, when firefighters ended their search for those unaccounted for in the June 24 partial collapse of Champlain Towers South.

Miami-Dade police officers continued to look for human remains and personal items. County officials determined that 97 people were reported missing in the Surfside, Florida, collapse, while a victim who died in the hospital was never reported missing. Ikey, 47, a real estate tax accountant from Brooklyn, last week said that he gave his DNA and visited the collapse site despite reluctance to see where his sister died, in order to witness the search efforts. He said the wait was torturous and that he ‘can’t believe Estelle is in there somewhere’.Hedaya, who was from New York, lived on the sixth floor of the 13-story condominium building.
