Nishnawbe-Aski Police Service has revealed the cause of death of the two boys who died in the Jan. 13 house fire in Nibinamik.
The boys – aged two and three – died of smoke-inhalation, police said, citing the results of a post-mortem exam.
A third youth, who was in the home at the time of the fire, is making progress at a hospital in London, Ont., according to police.
“The infant girl is reported to be doing well,” NAPS Sgt. Jackie George said in a release. “She is eating, smiling, and interacting with everyone.”
She was not burned in the fire but suffered smoke-inhalation as well.
Police have determined the cause of the fire as accidental and foul play is not suspected, George said.
