BRAMPTON — Police say all three people who were unaccounted for after a deadly fire at a home in Brampton, Ont., have been located — two of them dead and the third safe.
Peel regional police and Ontario’s fire marshal’s office gave an update today on the ongoing investigation into the Thursday morning blaze.
Police said on Friday that remains believed to be those of an adult had been found in the wreckage.
Const. Tyler Bell said today that investigators found the remains of a second person over the weekend, while the third person was in fact not home during the fire and is safe at the hospital with his family.
Bell said in total, four people died at the scene: three women and a toddler.
He said one of the people taken to hospital was pregnant and went into emergency surgery to deliver the baby, but the baby has since died.
The constable said the four people in hospital have stabilized, though some remain in critical condition. One of them, a five-year-old boy, is “doing quite well,” Bell said.
The deadly fire broke out early Thursday morning in the area of McLaughlin and Remembrance roads, prompting the evacuation of several nearby homes.
