Chocolate factory explosion toll rises to 7

The death toll from an explosion and fire at a chocolate factory in West Reading, Pennsylvania, has risen to seven, authorities said on Sunday. “All seven presumed missing have been found,” West Reading Mayor Samantha Kaag said in a statement. None of the victims will be named until authorities are certain that their families have been contacted, said Kaag. The explosion took place at the RM Palmer Company, which makes chocolate, on Friday afternoon. Ten people were sent to the hospital. Kaag said there will be three buildings condemned around the site out of precaution as the investigation continues.
