Trempealeau County authorities say they've found a third body in the burned wreckage of a weekend apartment fire.Independence Police Chief Derrick Vold said Monday night the latest victim at The Hotel Tap was found Monday afternoon and all tenants have now been accounted for.
Authorities still have not released any names of the victims.
Vold said four tenants made it out of a second story fire escape and two others went through a second story window to a nearby roof, where they were rescued Sunday morning by firefighters.
The fire is still under investigation by authorities and the state fire marshal's office, but Vold said the fire does not appear to be suspicious.
