Montreal police say a fifth body has been extracted from the rubble of a heritage building that caught fire nine days ago, leaving two others still missing.
Spokesperson Véronique Dubuc says the body was found and recovered on Saturday afternoon as fire services continued their search of the Old Montreal building.
Dubuc says the body has been turned over to a pathologist for identification as the search for others in the burned-out structure continues.
On Friday, police said they didn’t think they would find more than seven bodies in the ruins.
Police and firefighters have said it’s too soon to say what caused the fire,
