A total of 62 people remain missing and feared dead in the concrete and steel ruins of the 12-story tower, Levine Cava told a news conference.

The number of missing could change as it remains possible that not all were in the building when it abruptly caved in and crumbled to the ground early on June 24.

"This is a staggering and heart-breaking number that affects all of us very deeply," Levine Cava told a briefing.

The rising death toll followed the removal of 13 million pounds (589,6701 kg) of debris from the site, she said.
