A seventh body has been pulled from the site where a crane collapsed Saturday on the East Side of Midtown Manhattan, New York police said Monday.

The discovery -- the second body found Monday -- brings the death toll to six.

The Associated Press reported that the most recently found body was that of a construction worker. One person is still missing: a woman believed to have been in the five-story townhouse destroyed by the top portion of the crane.

The crane fell Saturday when a piece of steel dropped, cutting a tie holding the crane to an under-construction skyscraper.
