MINNEAPOLIS - Two bodies have been found in the wreckage of the bridge collapse in Minneapolis, raising the total death toll so far to seven, police said.
The unidentified victims were removed and taken to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner, police said.
Eight people had been listed as missing from the August 1 collapse of the Interstate 35W bridge into the Mississippi River. Another eight injured people remain in hospitals.
Meanwhile, President George W Bush at a White House news conference commented on the federal investigation into the cause of the collapse.
"The American people need to know that we're working hard to find out why the bridge did what it did so that we can assure people that the bridges over which they'll be travelling will be safe," Bush said.
