Excavators had been searching near the 5-storey building where Samar Zora was staying
The body of a Canadian woman who was visiting Turkey has been found in the rubble of a building that collapsed on Feb. 6 during the devastating earthquake that has killed thousands.
Saad Zora said his twin sister Samar was found earlier today by searchers as an excavator dug through pieces of a five-storey building in the city of Antakya.
"Samar was found," he said, "she didn't make it."
Zora said he and his brother, Muthana, who flew to Turkey last week to search for their sister, had remained near the scene of the excavation of the building.
