7 Confirmed Dead in Brazil Dam Break
Officials say they found the body of the
seventh person killed by a dam break in
northeastern Brazil.
The governor of Piaui state says the body of
a 16-year-old girl was found by rescuers
early Saturday.
Two people are still missing due to
floodwaters that swamped the farming city of
Cocal and areas downriver on Wednesday.
Eighty people suffered minor injuries.
Some 3,000 were left homeless and the waters
carried away cattle and inundated crops.
Floods in Brazil have caused chaos since
April from the Amazon to the Atlantic Ocean.
At least 59 people have been killed and
423,000 displaced.
