Rescue teams have found the body of a man who died in a Madrid bar explosion yesterday, the Associated Press reported.

The number of people injured in the explosion, which according to fire services was most likely caused by a gas leak, is 25.

Spanish police are still investigating the cause of the incident.

The explosion occurred at 3:01 p.m. at a bar on "Manuel Maroto" street in Madrid's "Puente de Vallecas" district. The bar is located on the ground floor of a three-story building.

Fire chief Javier Romero said four people had been pulled from the rubble. Romero noted that the explosion caused damage to a cafe, a shop and other properties.
