Michoacán Gov. Silvano Aureoles initially said Tuesday that the helicopter was shot down, but later said the cause was under investigation.

Three days after the quake struck the mountainous heart of the country, sniffer dogs and emergency crews continued to scour the town of Amatrice.

Firefighters and rescue crews using sniffer dogs worked in teams around the hard-hit areas in central Italy, pulling chunks of cement, rock and metal from mounds of rubble where homes once stood.

The magnitude 6 quake struck at 3:36 a.m. (0136 GMT) and was felt across a broad swath of central Italy, including Rome, where residents woke to a long swaying followed by aftershocks.

The death toll from former Hurricane Earl rose to 43 in Mexico's eastern mountains.

The continuing heavy rain led officials to close a section of the main federal highway connecting Mexico City to the region.
