Tragic detail in death of Aussie couple in Miami tower collapse
An Australian couple has been identified among the 28 bodies pulled from the rubble of a collapsed apartment building in Miami, Florida.
Tzvi, 68, and Itty Ainsworth, 66, were found following the collapse of the Champlain Towers South building on June 24.
In a tragic turn of events, it has been revealed the couple were celebrating the birth of their new grandchild just one day before the disaster occurred.
The sad news about the couple was shared on social media on Tuesday, July 2.
“It is with immense sadness this morning that we report Tzvi and Itty Ainsworth, a beloved couple who lived in Australia for nearly 20 years, are among the people confirmed killed in the Florida building collapse disaster,” the Australian Jewish News posted.
“The AJN’s thoughts and prayers are with their family at this time.”
According to NBC, Mr and Mrs Ainsworth moved from Australia to Surfside within the past several years.
Since the tower first went down, no one has been pulled out alive. The death toll has reached 28 and 117 people are still missing.
The reason for the collapse has not been confirmed.
