The death toll from a magnitude 6.4 earthquake which struck Hualien in Eastern Taiwan last week, has risen to 12 people on Friday after rescuers find two more bodies in a partially collapsed residential building. The two bodies were found hugging each other inside the 12-storey Yun Tsui building, which was left leaning at a 45-degree angle. They were identified as a Canadian couple, both aged 49, from Hong Kong. With the discovery of the couple, the search efforts will now narrow down to finding family of five from China who are still missing in the building. Last Tuesday, more than 270 people were injured when the deadly quake hit the Eastern Coastal city just before midnight toppling four buildings, ripping large fissures in roads and unleashing panic among the residents.
