Couple changes travel plans before dying in Surfside building collapse
SURFSIDE, Fla. – Bernardo Camou Font and his sister María Inés Camou Font said a change of travel plans caused their 64-year-old sister to die. She was scheduled to return to Montevideo, Uruguay before a section of the 12-story Champlain Towers South collapsed in Miami-Dade County’s town of Surfside.
Search crews digging through a mountain of pancaked concrete found their sister Maria Gabriela Camou Font dead two weeks after the June 24th tragedy. They are still searching for her husband of four decades, Miguel Kaufmann.

A concrete slab that supported the pool deck at Florida s Champlain Towers South condo building, which collapsed last month and resulted in the deaths of at least 95 people so far, needed concrete structural repair to seal 500 feet of cracks in 1996, new documents obtained by the Miami Herald show.
The report adds to concerns that the condo building may have been unsafe for years or even decades before it came crashing down in the early morning hours of June 24.
In a separate report, Morabito Consultants analyzed the building in 2018 and found that the concrete slab underlying the pool deck was improperly laid and not allowing water to disperse.
