More bodies from the collapsed Mumbai building, taking the death toll to at least 33

Mumbai, India (CNN)Rescue teams in Mumbai Friday pulled more bodies from the rubble of a three-story building that collapsed in the south of the city, taking the death toll to 33.

Among the dead are three children; one a baby just 20 days old.
It’s believed more people could be trapped under the twisted metal, dust and debris, more than 24 hours after the building in Bhendi Bazaar crumbled after days of heavy monsoon rain.
There’s been no official link made between the widespread flooding and the building’s collapse, however the building was 117 years old and had been deemed unsafe years ago, according to officials.
