The death toll from a deadly landslide in Brazil has climbed to 15 as rescue workers continued to recover bodies buried under the mud. The tragedy struck in the early hours of Saturday when most residents were still sleeping in the southeastern city of Niteroi in Rio de Janeiro state. Heavy rainfall caused a huge boulder to slide down a slope, hitting at least nine homes. Nearly 200 firefighters and civil defense workers have been working to clear away debris, and another 25 homes have been evacuated in case of a second landslide.
