SANTEE, CALIF. (AP) -- Authorities say they have found a second body in the charred remains of a San Diego County home where a man called 911 saying he was going to kill himself and his wife and set the place ablaze.

Sheriff's Lt. Jim Duffy says the body found yesterday has not been identified but appears to be female.

Coroner's officials say a 60-year-old man was found dead Saturday. They have not released his name.

Firefighters and deputies found the house in flames Saturday after the man told neighbors he was having financial troubles and his wife had cancer, then made the 911 call.

The San Diego Union Tribune reports the home was owned by 60-year-old Michael Cour and 70-year-old Janice Gervais since 1999, and that a bank foreclosed on it Dec. 6.
