Two bodies found in rubble after Minneapolis school explosion

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Officials say a second body has been recovered after an explosion and partial building collapse at a Minneapolis school.

Fire Chief John Fruetel says the body was found around 8pm Wednesday. Fruetel says the medical examiner's office is working to notify family members. Fruetel says the cause of the natural gas explosion at the Minnehaha Academy remains under investigation. The private Christian school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

The school earlier said receptionist Ruth Berg also died in the blast, and that janitor John Carlson was missing. At a news conference Wednesday night, Fruetel did not specify whether Carlson's body was the one located.
