2 bodies found after France building collapse

Two bodies were found overnight in the rubble following an explosion that collapsed a building in the southern French city of Marseille, as rescuers continued searching for at least six people who are unaccounted-for, authorities said Monday.

Marseille mayor Benoit Payan told French media that more than 100 firefighters on site were searching for at least six people believed to have been trapped in the five-story residential building.  An investigation has been opened for involuntary injury, at least initially sidestepping possible criminal intentions. A gas explosion was among the avenues of investigation, the prosecutor added. About 200 people have been evacuated from their homes in the area.
