Four children and their father are dead following a Phoenix condo fire.
Firefighters pulled the five victims out the of the burning condo and EMS personnel initiated ALS measures, Fox 10 reported.
Two of the children died not long after arriving at the hospital while the other two died several days later.
The victims were identified as Dov Boyer, 7; Nachman Boyer, 8; Tamar Boyer, 11; and Shevach Boyer, 9. Shimone Boyer, 52, died at the scene.
“It was consistent with mostly, likely some…smoke inhalation and potential burn injuries,” said Capt. Scott Douglas after the fire last week.
Capt. Rob McDade added: “There is no indication, right now, that would point us in the direction that this was purposely set. Fire investigators can tell us at this time they have no yet located any working smoke detectors in the home. This is preliminary, but that is where it seems to be pointing at they were not present or not functioning if they were present.”
