Two bodies have been found in the rubble after a building collapsed in the southern French city of Marseille at the weekend, local media reported on Monday, citing firefighters.
Five people from neighboring buildings were injured in an explosion early on Saturday.
The cause of the blast is not yet known, but investigators are looking at the possibility of a gas leak.
A search and rescue operation is ongoing. However, a persistent fire under the rubble may hinder the rescue efforts, officials said.
Local prosecutor Dominique Laurens earlier told reporters that "eight people were not responding to phone calls."
