    Hopes of finding additional survivors from an earthquake in Taiwan are fading after rescuers find two more bodies in a partially collapsed hotel and detect no signs of a missing family of five.
    Rescuers broke through to a room in the Beauty Inn where a couple — Canadian citizens originally from Hong Kong — were found.

    The deaths of the couple, both 49, raises the death toll to 12, including four tourists from China and a 27-year-old Filipino employed as a household helper.
    Taiwan's National Fire Agency listed 273 people as injured.
    Key points:
    The death toll sits at 12, with five still missing and 273 injured
    Collapsed Yunmen Tsuiti building is being supported by steel beams after quake jolts it to a 45-degree angle
    Previous reports of signs of life in a hotel were deemed to be false
