ST . PAUL, Minn., Aug. 10 (UPI) -- Divers searching the Mississippi River for remains from victims of the St. Paul, Minn., bridge collapse have found a third body, CNN reported.

The discovery brings the confirmed death toll to eight.

Officials also announced that Peter Hausmann, whose body was recovered Thursday, died from drowning, the St. Paul Pioneer-Press reported.

While Hausmann was the only person officially identified Thursday, family members told the newspaper the other body was that of Hana Sahal, 19 months.

Five bodies were found soon after the collapse, while eight people were listed as missing.

Meanwhile, police said after interviewing a homeless man familiar with the community of people who camped under the eight-lane bridge, they were confident none of them was killed in the collapse, the newspaper reported.
