Rescue operations to save three people trapped in a buried car in Nagaoka, Niigata Prefecture, ended without a second miracle Thursday after a 3-year-old girl was confirmed dead.
Mayu Minagawa had been in the car with her mother, Takako, 39, and 2-year-old brother, Yuta, when their car was buried in a landslide triggered by Saturday's earthquakes.
On Wednesday, Yuta was pulled out alive, but their mother was found dead.
