At least 28 are still believed to be missing as Brazilian authorities are struggling to recover the bodies of people believed to have been swept away after dams at an iron ore mine burst.
The disaster in the mineral-rich southeastern state of Minas Gerais, directly north of Rio de Janeiro, has prompted a rescue and salvage operation involving about 500 people, many of whom are still searching with the help of dogs and special equipment for victims along the floodplain downstream from the dams.
Authorities have recovered two more corpses of possible victims that if confirmed would raise the death toll so far to four.
Of the 28 people listed as missing late on Sunday, 13 were mine workers.
