CLEARWATER, Fla. — After a 3-day search, crews have recovered the body of a 23-year-old man who died after a stairwell collapsed Monday at a shared parking garage on Enterprise Road.

At a Wednesday afternoon news conference, Clearwater Police Chief Dan Slaughter identified him as Mitchel Thomas Klock, of Brandon.

Slaughter said Klock got married earlier this year and owned a welding service.

"He's a hardworking guy just trying to care for his family, and this is going to strain them emotionally and maybe even financially," Slaughter said, explaning the family's desire for privacy at this time. 

He said no foul play or a crime is suspected in what happened.

The effort to recover Klock's body included a rare excavator with what's called a "muncher."

Work had continued overnight and the body was found Wednesday morning.

The structure is located at 2575 Enterprise Road, near Tampa Bay Water's administrative office.

"We've heard a lot of questions like 'How is this going to change what you do in the City of Clearwater'? Slaughter said. "We're going to holistically look at everything but we're in the early stages of gathering a lot of that data." 

Officials say a total of four landings collapsed around 12:30 p.m. yesterday, trapping Klock under the rubble.

The type of excavator used in the search is extremely rare, John Klinefelter, division chief for Clearwater Fire Rescue, said.

Klinefelter said work was going on inside the garage when the accident happened.

"It does sound like there was some sort of construction going on on the stairwell when the accident occurred," he said Monday.

He also said the stairway was separate from the garage, meaning there was no fear of a collapse of the garage itself. The stairway itself, he said, was still too unsafe to have rescuers there.

A private contractor has been on the scene, working to dismantle the stairwell from the top down. 

The City of Clearwater's Planning and Development Department is researching the permitting and construction history of the garage, which is leased by several companies. 

Slaughter said Wednesday that an initial inspection on July 15 revealed that "there was some information there that was a concern. We prepared an unsafe structure report."

"The property manager was communicating with our inspection staff and there was no attempt that we see at this particular point for them not to try and address the problems," the police chief said.

This is a developing story and will be updated once more information becomes available.
