TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – The death toll from the Hualien earthquake rose to 16 Wednesday (April 6) as the bodies of a family of five were recovered from the Shakadang Trail in Taroko National Park.

The three people still missing are a couple from Singapore believed to have been hiking on the same trail, and a person at the Heren quarry in another part of Hualien County. The quake also resulted in 1,155 injured and 37 people still trapped, Radio Taiwan International (RTI) reported.

Two bodies that had been found earlier were removed from under heavy rocks Wednesday, while three other bodies were located nearby. They are believed to be a couple and their three children, surnamed Yu (游). The rescue team found a bag nearby which contained the health insurance cards of the mother and the three children, per CNA.

The search for the couple from Singapore was focusing on an area covering 1.3 kilometers from the site where the Yu family had been found, rescue team members said. The problem was that they did not know whether the couple had continued further or retraced their steps to the starting point of their hike before the quake struck.

At the Heren quarry in the township of Xiulin, access to the location where a man surnamed Hsiao (蕭) is believed missing was still blocked by heavy rocks, with four landslides occurring over the past two days. Experts reportedly advised to use explosives to clear the road and speed up the search.
