A moment of silence marked the end of the search for survivors of a South Florida condominium collapse.
The ceremony last night came after authorities said the rescue mission would now shift to an effort to recover remains from the rubble of the condo tower in Surfside, just outside Miami.
A former Montrealer is the first Canadian victim identified.
Ingrid ``Itty'' Ainsworth, who was 66, died in the collapse in late June along with her 68-year-old husband.
Officials say the death toll stands at 54 with 86 people, including three Canadians, still unaccounted for.
