Global Affairs says at least two more Canadians are among those unaccounted for after the Champlain Towers South condominium building in Surfside, Fla. fell on June 24.

Miami-Dade officials previously identified the first Canadian whose remains were found as 66-year-old Ingrid "Itty" Ainsworth, formerly of Montreal.

She and her Australian husband were publicly named on Wednesday after their bodies were recovered.

The death toll from the collapse now stands at 86, with 43 people still missing.
