Fourth body found in rubble of collapsed building in Marseille

French rescue workers continue to search smouldering debris for more people after suspected explosion

Rescue workers recovered a fourth body from the rubble of a collapsed apartment building in Marseille on Monday, as emergency services battled difficult conditions to look for four more missing people.

More than 24 hours after a suspected explosion at the building, where people reported a strong smell of gas, dozens of rescue workers and dogs worked among the debris and rubble as a fire still smouldered underneath.
