VIDEO: The bodies of two more victims were found during the search of a 6-family Worcester apartment building that caught fire on Saturday, bringing the death total to at least four people. Heavy fire broke out around 3:30 a.m. at the triple-decker on Gage Street.
Firefighters initially said Saturday that two people died and three others were hurt during the fire. Investigators returned to the scene Monday and found a third victim around 8 a.m. Several hours later, a fourth victim was discovered.
Federal investigators joined the locals at the scene Monday as the building’s owner openly suspected arson. Jim Li says a surveillance camera on his property captured a man lurking around the place early Saturday morning. “At 3:20, I saw someone was wandering around the building,” Li told WBZ.
