ROME — Rescuers found the body of the last missing person on Tuesday at the site of a fuel depot explosion in Italy’s central Tuscany region, bringing the death toll to five, Italian media reported. The blast on Monday caused the collapse of a building with offices, injuring 14 people, Tuscany’s governor Eugenio Giani said, adding that two were in critical condition. The explosion struck an ENI fuel depot north of Florence, sending a dark plume of smoke into the air. Residents were initially advised to keep their windows closed, but environmental officials later determined that the air quality was safe.
