The find comes 3 days after the gas explosion which led to the collapse of 3 buildings and left 22 people injured. The bodies were found on Sunday, but no identities have been released
BBC reports that 2 people had been reported missing from a sushi restaurant hit by the blast, Nicholas Figueroa, who was on a date there, and a worker, Moises Lucon.
Officials say utility inspectors had declared plumbing and gas work inside one of the buildings faulty just an hour before the explosion, locking the line to ensure it would not be used and then leaving. The blast however followed soon afterwards leading to the collapse of the buildings in Manhattan's East Village.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, however said officials would investigate whether anyone had improperly tapped the gas supply prior to the blast.
