PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Authorities say the bodies of two workers trapped when a stairwell roof collapsed at a parking garage under construction in Philadelphia have been found. Mayor Cherelle Parker's announcement on Monday came five days after a section of roof at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s garage fell Wednesday, triggering a collapse across all seven levels. Crews initially rescued three workers injured in the collapse and they were taken to hospitals, where one died. By Thursday, officials said search dogs hadn’t found any signs of life at the collapse site. Crews worked through the weekend to take apart the unstable building to make the search possible and recovery operations began Sunday night. Officials say the workers were found and recovered early Monday.
