No sign of life found in building collapse into sinkhole

[Wayne Harrison]

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, August 27, 2007 - Hope fades for a St Michael family of five who remain buried for over 24 hours after they plunged with their apartment, as they slept, into a subterranean cavern when the roof of the cave, on which their home was constructed, collapsed early Sunday morning.

Three children aged one to seven were in the rubble with 30-year-old Donavera Codrington and his 27-year-old wife, Cassandra in Britton's Hill Cross Road, about three miles east of the capital Bridgetown. The fourth child, a three-month old was staying with relatives and was not at home at the time of the collapse.
