(CNN) -- The death toll on Brazil's southeast coast rose to 60 on Saturday as rescuers combed through mounds of debris after three days of pounding rain unleashed deadly mudslides, state officials said.

At least 41 people were killed when a large part of a mountain collapsed into mud Friday, sliding into the upscale Sankay Inn resort in Angra dos Reis, two hours west of Rio de Janeiro.

More than three inches of rain accumulated in Rio's western regions over the past day, according to Geo-Rio, the state official weather forecast center. Brazilian forecasters are predicting more rain to come in the next few days in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo.
