Italy Avalanche Death Toll Up to 14 After Three Bodies Found

Two more bodies have been found inside a snowbound hotel in central Italy after last week's avalanche, bringing the death toll up to 14, Italian media reported Tuesday.

ROME (Sputnik) — Two women were found in the Rigopiano di Farindola hotel hallway less than 12 hours after the bodies of three men were uncovered, according to the Ranews24 broadcaster.

Central Italy was shaken by a series of earthquakes up to 5.7 in magnitude last Wednesday, January 18. That day, an avalanche in the region of Abruzzo buried the Rigopiano di Farindola hotel with dozens of guests and staff inside. A total of 17 people remain unaccounted for.
