A University of Cincinnati College of Medicine graduate is among those unaccounted after the condo collapse in Surfside, Florida.
The college released a tweet Wednesday saying it "sends prayers & hope to the family of Dr. Brad Cohen, UCCoM Class of 1997. Dr. Cohen & his brother, Dr. Gary Cohen, are missing after the Florida condo collapse."
The Associated Press reported Wednesday that the death toll for the collapse now totals 16 after search and rescue teams pulled another four bodies from the rubble.
At least 145 people are still missing, according to reports from Miami-Dade County Mayor Levine Cava and USA TODAY.
One side of the condominium building collapsed Thursday, June 24. Since then, documents have been released showing officials were aware of structural problems with the building for years, but little was done to address them.
Leaders in Surfside are calling for a grand jury investigation of the collapse.
Officials said crews have already moved 3 million pounds of concrete in an effort to find survivors and recover bodies. The work continues around the clock.
President Joe Biden and his wife plan to visit the site Thursday.
Cohen is an orthopedic surgeon and founder of Aventura Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine in North Miami and Miami Beach, according to People magazine.
In an interview with the publication, Cohen's wife, Soraya Cohen, said at first she thought if anyone could survive the collapse it was her husband, but as the days have passed she doesn't believe he's still alive.
"I feel like it's a surreal nightmare and I'm going to wake up and it's over," she told the magazine.
