These third and fourth victims were found at the end of the day on Wednesday, said Juline Lévesque, spokesperson for the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM).
As in the case of previous victims found on Tuesday and Sunday, the bodies have been turned over to the Forensic Science and Forensic Laboratory, responsible for confirming the identities of the victims.
In doing so, there are only three people left who are still missing.
Earlier in the day, the SPVM confirmed the identity of a first victim, Camille Maheux, a 76-year-old woman. She had lived in the building for around thirty years, according to information obtained by TVA Nouvelles.
