MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Divers pulled at least two more
bodies from the wreckage of the collapsed Mississippi
River bridge Thursday, bringing the disaster's confirmed
death toll to seven, more than a week after the span
crumbled. Later, authorities said one of those sets of
remains might actually include another victim, which
would bring the toll to eight if that is confirmed.

The first victim recovered Thursday was identified as
Peter Joseph Hausmann, 47, of Rosemount.

Authorities believe they know the victims' identities
from the other remains, and that they were on the list
of missing in the Aug. 1 collapse, said Andrew Baker,
chief medical examiner for Hennepin County. They were
not immediately identified.
