At least four Canadians from three different families are unaccounted for after the deadly collapse of a Miami−area condo building, the federal government said Sunday as the official death toll in the incident rose to nine.

Global Affairs Canada had said earlier on Sunday that four Canadians affected by the tragedy were from two families, but clarified the facts later in the day. The department had also previously declined to share the Canadians’ official status, but now say they are among the roughly 150 still missing days after the Champlain Towers South came crashing down three days ago in Surfside, Fla.
