Mauro Pimentel / AFP
Authorities say the death toll from the dam breach at a Brazilian iron ore complex has increased to 84 from 65, The Washington Post reports.
Lt. Flavio Godinho of the Minas Gerais state civil defense agency also says the number of missing stood Tuesday night at 276.
Searchers are still looking for survivors or bodies in the muck that poured out of the dam last Friday in the small city of Brumadinho, inundating buildings owned by big mining company Vale SA and nearby neighborhoods.
