With the discovery on Wednesday night of the bodies of one man and one woman, everyone known to have been at the Hotel Rigopiano when it was flattened has now been accounted for.
Eleven people survived the disaster, which struck in the wake of heavy snowstorms and several powerful earthquakes on Jan. 18.
Prosecutors have opened a probe into the tragedy. Many guests had wanted to leave the hotel but were unable to do so because the access road was blocked by snow.
