Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called on Friday for a “definitive explanation” of the collapse of a condo building in a Miami suburb that killed at least four people, as the search continued for the missing 159 people.

"We need a definitive explanation for how this could have happened and that's an explanation that needs to be an accurate explanation. It's an explanation that, you know, we don't want to get wrong, obviously. But at the same time, I do think it's important that it's timely, because you have a lot of family here. You have families that lost loved ones in this building collapse. They have a right to know," DeSantis told a news conference.

DeSantis told reporters he had spoken to U.S. President Joe Biden, who pledged his full support.

Biden approved an emergency declaration for Florida early on Friday, authorizing federal assistance to supplement state and local response efforts.
