MONTREAL — The remains of three people have been found at the site of last week’s explosion and fire at a propane distribution company north of Montreal.

Quebec provincial police confirmed today that the victims were located at Propane Lafortune in St-Roch-de-l’Achigan.

Police and forensics specialists had been combing through the site in search of two employees and a subcontractor who were reported missing after Thursday’s blast.

Police spokeswoman Hélène St-Pierre says the remains have been taken to the province’s forensics lab in order to formally identify the victims.
