Newark house blast: Second body found
A second body has been found in the rubble of a terraced house which was destroyed by a suspected gas blast in Newark, Nottinghamshire.
Police said continuing searches in the rubble had “revealed” the body of a woman, which would be recovered later.
A man’s body was removed from the house in Wright Street in the early hours. Four people, including two children, were treated in hospital.
Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue service said a woman, a seven-year-old and a four-month-old baby were from the neighbouring property. They have since been discharged.
Police also confirmed today that a “controlled demolition” was set to be carried out as the property was not considered safe.
