ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Fire officials say investigators found the bodies of two more people in the charred remains of an Annapolis-area mansion that burned to the ground earlier this week, bringing the number of dead to four.

Officials say crews found two bodies on Thursday, the second day of excavating the site. Investigators discovered two bodies on Wednesday.

Six people - Don and Sandra Pyle and their four grandchildren - have been unaccounted for since a massive fire reduced a 16,000-square-foot waterfront mansion near the state's capital to rubble early Monday. Relatives have said they believed the Pyles and their grandchildren were all inside the mansion when it caught fire.

Investigators would not say whether the bodies found were those of adults or children. Officials say there are still two people unaccounted for.
