The dead body of a fourth Lynn University student was recovered in the rubble of a collapsed hotel in Haiti, school officials said Sunday. Britney Gengel, a sophomore at the institution in Boca Raton, Fla., and 3 other students and 2 faculty members were unaccounted for after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake rocked Haiti previous month.

The U.S. State Department has now found the remains of every 6 people who were staying at the Hotel Montana in Port-au-Prince while the quake struck. Gengel and the others were part of a bigger group on a humanitarian mission in Haiti. 8 other members of that team were evacuated from the country & returned to Florida.

“While at Lynn, Britney triumphed academically & publicly and was a right motivation to the Lynn community & the community at large,” Lynn University President Kevin Ross said in a report out Sunday.

“She was a beautiful young woman who gave her life helping others,” he said. “We will miss her awfully.” School officials said on Saturday that one of its faculty members, Richard Bruno, 59, had been officially stated dead. Bruno, an assistant professor in Lynn’s College of Liberal Education, joined the university 4 years ago.
