(Jamaica Gleaner) The death toll from the heavy rain associated with what developed into Tropical Storm Nicole continues to climb as more bodies are fished from flooded waterways and the sea.
Five more bodies were found on Friday, bringing the unofficial death toll to 13, with a further eight persons missing believed dead.
Friday morning brought an end to the search for 42-year-old William Bailey and his common-law-wife, 34-year-old Skeeta Young.
They were among six persons declared missing after a two-bedroom house in Sandy Park, St Andrew, collapsed into the Sandy Gully on Wednesday.
The bodies were fished from the sea near Seaview Gardens, St Andrew, shortly before 10 am after they were spotted by residents.
Two other bodies were found later in the day, one at PetroJam off Spanish Town Road, and the other at the waterfront of the Kingston Wharf.
