CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand – Police say the death toll in New Zealand's earthquake has risen to 144.
 
Police Superintendent Dave Cliff told reporters the toll reached 144 on Saturday after more bodies were pulled from wrecked buildings, and that more than 200 people remain missing after last Tuesday's 6.3-magnitude quake.
 
Prime Minister John Key said Saturday that the disaster may be New Zealand's "single most tragic event" and called for two minutes of silence next Tuesday.
