Investigators have found a fifth set of human remains at the Eastway Tank explosion site in south Ottawa, but the hazardous terrain is still making it too treacherous to reach the remains and begin the process of identification, a supervising regional coroner says. An explosion last Thursday ripped through the Merivale Road headquarters of Eastway Tank, Pump and Meter Ltd., a manufacturer of tanker trucks. McNaughton-Filion's disclosure of five sets of remains found is up from the four announced at the latest investigation briefing this past Sunday. The family of Eastway Tank employee Danny Beale, whose remains are thought to be in the rubble, left this photo of him at the scene on Saturday. McNaughton-Filion said her office will only confirm the identity of people's remains to families once all of the remains have been identified.
