Death toll from Brazil's dam burst rises to 110 with 238 missing

The death toll from the mine dam collapse in the Brazilian town of Brumadinho rose to 110 as 238 people were still unaccounted for, according to the state civil defense department on Thursday.

Seventy-one of the victims have been identified.

The mining barrier collapsed in the southeastern state of Minas Gerais on January 25, spewing millions of tons of muddy sludge across the facility and down towards the nearby town.
