Friends and family scour hospitals in frantic search for loved ones

FRIENDS and family members of missing nightclub patrons travelled from hospital to hospital yesterday, desperately looking for their loved ones as the death toll climbed to at least 95 people.

Patricia Belanger stood trembling outside Rhode Island Hospital, clutching a photo of her daughter, Dina DeMaio, who was working at The Station as a waitress to earn some extra money for herself and her seven-year-old son.

Belanger last saw DeMaio at about 9:30pm on Thursday when she left for the club.
