LAS VEGAS (AP) - The body of a second person has been found in fenced-off ruins of a former wedding chapel that burned nearly two months ago in downtown Las Vegas.

The second body was found last weekend under insulation and other debris, said Fire Chief Jeff Buchanan of Las Vegas Fire and Rescue.

Buchanan said it appeared to arson investigators that the person was at the chapel at the time of the Jan. 12 fire.



Authorities initially thought nobody was hurt in the fire but the body of Steven Travis Warren, 30 was found the day after the fire.

Damage to the boarded-up building was estimated at $1 million and no cause has been determined.

The identity of the second person found dead was not released immediately.
