LAC MEGANTIC: The death toll in Lac-Megantic rose to 13 on Monday, two days after a runaway oil tanker train derailed and exploded, flattening part of the small Quebec town, the coroner said.

Police also told reporters that the number of people reported missing has climbed to about 50, while environmental officials warned that 100,000 liters of oil spilled in the disaster was headed for the Saint Lawrence river.
