STURGEON BAY (NBC 26) — Sturgeon Bay police say another body has been recovered from the rubble of a bar fire. The remains of a deceased male were taken to Madison for identification.

This marks the second body found in the rubble. One body was recovered Wednesday and will also be sent to Madison for identification, according to previous police statements.

Police said the Dane County Medical Examiner will release the identities of the deceased after families have been notified.
