Authorities discovered a body late Monday at a Toronto propane depot where a series of massive explosions occurred over the weekend, but have not confirmed whether it is that of a missing employee.
The massive blasts at the facility early Sunday resulted in the death of a veteran firefighter and prompted about 10,000 residents to flee their nearby homes as plumes of smoke and billowing flames filled the sky above the city.
The blasts sprayed debris over a wide radius, damaging several homes and businesses, and forced the closure of a 16-kilometre stretch of Highway 401, Canada's busiest roadway.
A large neighbourhood — bounded by Keele Street, Dufferin Street, Sheppard Avenue and Wilson Avenue — was evacuated, although most residents had returned to their homes by Monday.
