Elderly couple died together in bed in Florida condo collapse, grandson says
  • Antonio and Gladys Lozano died in the condo collapse in Surfside, Florida.
  • Their grandson told NBC Miami that he "got a sense of peace" learning that his grandparents were together when they died.

An elderly couple killed in the Florida condo collapse died together in bed, their grandson says.

Brian Lozano told NBC Miami that he "got a sense of peace" learning that his grandparents, Antonio and Gladys Lozano, were together when they died in the Champlain Tower South collapse in Surfside, Florida.

"They couldn't stand a moment without each other," he said. "I never saw them apart."

Miami-Dade Police recovered the bodies of the Lozanos one day apart from each other following the June 24 collapse, officials told the Florida Times-Union.

Brian Lozano said his grandparents would have celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary this month.

As of Friday, at least 20 victims have been confirmed dead in the collapse, and more than 100 remain missing.
