A semi-detached house exploded in Rohrbach on Thursday.
A connection to a fatal car accident has been confirmed and another fire is being investigated.
A corpse has now been identified.
Update from September 4, 12.30 p.m.:
The body that was found after an explosion in Rohrbach, Upper Bavaria, is the 54-year-old resident of the destroyed house.
She had been identified beyond any doubt, said police spokesman Karl Höpfl on Saturday (September 4th) in Ingolstadt.
He did not provide any information on the cause of death.
In the case of the other dead person, who died shortly afterwards in a car accident in the region, the autopsy showed that it was a man.
However, due to the severe burns, identification was not possible.
The police had already confirmed on Friday that the explosion and the car accident are related.
A married couple - a 55-year-old man and a 54-year-old woman - have been missing since then.
In addition, the investigators are investigating a connection with a fire in an empty apartment in Saxony that belongs to the couple.
The investigators are now trying to identify the dead person using a DNA comparison.
The background to the explosion and the accident are so far unclear.
According to the police, the investigation will drag on until next week.
House explosion in Bavaria: body found in ruins - uncanny connection with car accident?
Update from September 3, 8:47 p.m.:
The case in Rohrbach is becoming more and more mysterious. As investigators from the Ingolstadt police have now found out, another lead leads to Saxony. There was a fire in an empty apartment in the city of Lugau on Thursday afternoon - around the same time as the explosion. No one was injured in the fire, but the fire fighters found several canisters of flammable liquid and a gas bottle. As it turned out, both the apartment and the house in Rohrbach an der Ilm belong to the missing husband. So far, however, it is not clear whether the body in the house is the missing 54-year-old woman, nor whether the dead man is the also missing 55-year-old husband.
