US: One of three missing victims' bodies found in Davenport apartment building collapse

<p>In&nbsp;Davenport, United States, a part of a six-storey historic apartment building collapsed on Sunday. From under the wreckage of the collapsed building, eight people have been rescued now. Citing officials, NBS news reported&nbsp;that the building collapse in Davenport, Iowa also caused injuries to an unspecified number of people.</p>

<p>Even as a secondary search of the property located at 324 Main Street Davenport, Iowa was carried out, addressing a press conference, city authorities voiced concerns over the possibility of people being trapped beneath the debris.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Davenport Fire Chief Mike Carlsten stated that the collapse, which occurred shortly before 5 pm, may have caused a substantial natural gas leak and resulted in water leaking from each floor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He explained that "a portion of the rear building had actually collapsed, separated from the building."</p>

<p>In addition to the seven rescues reported by NBC News, reports on social media claim that another person has now been rescued.&nbsp;</p>
