The death toll from the Friday, March 24, explosion at a Pennsylvania chocolate factory rose to seven as two more bodies were found on Sunday, March 26, authorities said.

The two more deceased people were among those that went missing after the Friday blast, according to West Reading Police Chief Wayne Holben.

The find on Sunday brought the search operations at the RM Palmer Co. to a close as no other people were reported missing at the factory after the blast.

Speaking at a news conference on Sunday morning, Chief Holben assured everyone they would only stop the search once every missing person was accounted for.

The identities of the seven deceased people were withheld, and officials refused to discuss the victim’s relations with the chocolate factory.

The number of fatalities slowly rose over the weekend as members of the rescue team sifted through the building’s debris.

In a news conference on Sunday evening, West Reading Borough Mayor Samantha Kaag announced that they had finally located the two missing people. 

Kaag said the blast occurred around 5 pm on Friday and leveled the factory.

According to a statement released on Friday by the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency, ten others were taken to various hospitals with injuries. Authorities will investigate the incident and said that it was possible that a gas leak may have caused the explosion.

A West Reading Disaster Recovery Fund was launched on Sunday to support organizations helping affected families and people displaced due to the blast.

RM Palmer Co. was founded in 1948 by Richard M. Palmer, Sr. At the time, he only sold a handful of chocolates. Now, the company has over 800 employees.
