Deadly Washington ice cave collapse after warm temperatures

Monday's collapse came after authorities warned that the caves were especially dangerous because of warming temperatures.

The person who died remained buried under the debris at the Big Four Ice Caves east of Verlot, Snohomish County sheriff's spokeswoman Shari Ireton said late Monday night. The recovery effort was suspended at nightfall.

All victims were believed accounted for, Ireton said.
