Investigators have found a fifth set of human remains at the Eastway Tank explosion site in south Ottawa, but the hazardous terrain is still making it too treacherous to reach the remains and begin the process of identification, a supervising regional coroner says.
“I can’t give you an exact amount of time,” said Dr. Louise McNaughton-Filion, the coroner overseeing the Ottawa and eastern Ontario regions, on Monday afternoon.
“I can tell you that the work is going to be intense. People are going to be dedicated to getting this done as quickly and as well as possible.”
