The body of one of three men who had been missing after the partial collapse of an apartment building in Davenport, Iowa, has been found, a city official confirmed Sunday.
Branden Colvin Sr.'s body was recovered Saturday, city spokeswoman Sarah Ott said. Two other men -- 51-year-old Ryan Hitchcock and 60-year-old Daniel Prien -- are still unaccounted for. Colvin, 42, is the first person confirmed to have died in the collapse.The Quad-City Times reported that Colvin's son, Branden Colvin Jr., graduated from high school Saturday. He and other family members had been at the collapse site almost constantly, hoping for a miracle.
City officials had said earlier that Colvin, Hitchcock and Prien had "high probability of being home at the time of the collapse." Documents released by the city show that city officials and the building's owner were warned for months that parts of the building were unstable.
