STORYLINE:
A multi-storey building in Rio de Janeiro has collapsed after a possible natural gas explosion.
Television images showed rubble strewn across a wide area, covering cars and motorcycles.
There is no official word on deaths, but Brazil’s TV Globo channel cites unidentified Brazilian authorities as saying two bodies had been found so far.
Witnesses at the scene say that they heard an explosion just before the building collapsed and that there was a strong odour of gas.
Police have cordoned off the area and electricity to the street has been cut off for safety reasons.
