Emergency services out the remains of a house in Wright Street.
A second body has been discovered in the remains of a terraced house which was destroyed by a suspected gas blast.
Nottinghamshire Police said ongoing searches in the rubble of the property in Newark had “revealed” the body of a woman, which will be recovered later on Monday.
Emergency services had already found a man’s body at the scene of the blast, which left four other people in hospital.
A police spokesman also confirmed that a “controlled demolition” was set tobe carried out as the property was not considered safe.
The first body found during the search-and-rescue operation was located in the rubble of the home shortly after midnight.
The police spokesman added: “Two children and a woman were taken to Nottingham’s Queen’s Medical Centre for treatment to smoke inhalation and have since been discharged.
“A man also sustained serious injuries and smoke inhalation and remains in hospital.”
More than 100 people were evacuated from their homes after the blast, which happened at about 5.10pmon Sunday, and a rest centre was set up at a nearby leisure centre.
