New Determination On August Fire
KENTUCKY...
Fire officials in western Kentucky say they cannot determine what caused a blaze that killed four people last summer.
Investigators with the Owensboro Fire Department had previously said they believed the Aug. 27 fire was accidental.
The fire killed 35-year-old Wendy Devine; her children, 3-year-old Jerry Devine and 2-year-old Jonathan Ryan Devine; and her father, Jerry Marsh. The coroner's report says all four died of smoke inhalation.
The Messenger-Inquirer newspaper obtained a copy of test results from the fire investigation using an open records request and reported the tests found no unusual substances in the house. The fire marshal's report also said the fire is not believed to have been electrical.
