Police say there were no working smoke detectors in a rural northern Indiana home where six members of an extended family died in a fire.
The father of three of the six victims of a northern Indiana house fire was found dead a few hours after the blaze and miles away in what a local police chief on Thursday called a “coincidence.”
The fire outside Logansport early Wednesday killed Joseph Huddleston, 42; his 10-year-old daughter, Kadee Huddleston, his stepdaughter, Brandi Vail, 25; and her three children, 3-year-old Swayzee Hite, 1-year-old Rhylie Hite and 3-month-old Marshall Hite, police said.
Daniel Hite was found dead a few hours later in a home in Flora, about 15 miles (24 kilometers) southwest of Logansport, Flora Police Chief Paul Redmon told WLFI-TV.
