Three of the dead, all female, were found in the damaged Yun Men Tusi Ti building. Another female tourist was rescued from the same building Wednesday, but was declared dead Wednesday evening.

Rescuers said five other mainland tourists are still trapped in the building, including four adults and one child.

So far, no signs of life have been detected from the room of the trapped. Rescuers said they could not enter the room because it was severely squeezed.

It was the most severe earthquake to hit Hualien in five decades, according to Fu Kun-Chi, head of Hualien County.
