The identification was made through a ring. A sixth body was removed from the ruins shortly before 3 o'clock.

Five bodies had been removed early Wednesday afternoon from the ruins of the fire-swept Hotel Kerns with the known death toll standing at 23. All the bodies were charred beyond recognition but authorities hoped that experts later might be able to find means of identification. Discovery of keys identified as those belonging to Senator John Leidlein of Saginaw near one of the bodies recovered Wednesday morning led to belief that the senator's body was one of those found buried in the tons of debris.
