Three bodies found in Brazil

The bodies of three people have been recovered in Brazil by rescue workers searching through rubble, after the collapse of two high-rise office buildings in Rio de Janeiro.



The buildings, one of which was 20 storeys, collapsed late yesterday.



The cause of the collapse is not clear but City Mayor Eduardo Paes said current investigations are focusing on structural problems.



He has discounted speculation that a gas explosion could have caused the collapse.



Meanwhile, officials said at least 19 people remain missing, while a further six were taken to hospital.
