A three-story, 19-apartment building at 516 Canal St. in San Rafael burned early Thursday, beginning around 5:30 a.m. Eight people sustained injuries; several occupants jumped from windows or balconies to escape. Firefighters worked the scene and flames engulfed portions of the structure, including the roof. Two bodies were recovered: one located at the rear of the building identified as 62-year-old Tracey Lee Lowmiller; a second discovered late Sunday in a damaged interior area remains unidentified. The Marin County coroner's office and investigators are pursuing leads and expect to identify the second female victim by the end of the week.
