Investigators: Nothing suspicious in fatal fire
NORWICH – The forensic results from evidence gathered at the scene of deadly Norwich fire that claimed two lives shows nothing suspicious, according to county and state fire officials.
“We’ve received the test results back from Albany and they came back showing nothing suspicious,” said Matthew L. Beckwith the Chenango County Fire Coordinator.
The fire took the life of a 79-year-old Donald K. Loomis on Dec. 7 and then claimed his 80-year-old wife, Ida M. Loomis on Dec. 11, after she succumbed to her injuries.
Their daughter, 40-year-old Christine L. Loomis, was released Thursday from the University Hospital in Syracuse after suffering from severe burns and smoke inhalation.
Beckwith said investigators had determined the likely cause and origin of the fire, but are not releasing the information until they had completed the entire investigation. “We still have some unanswered questions,” he said.
Norwich firefighters were on the scene of the fire on at 157 Bourbon St. in the Maple Grove Trailer Park, Norwich within five minutes of being dispatched after a 911 caller said three people were trapped inside of the home on the afternoon of Dec. 7.
Investigators have struggled to explain how the fire spread so quickly and how the family was unable to escape the mid-day fire.
“That’s the piece of the puzzle we can’t yet put together. Two victims are dead and the one just got out of the hospital. Hopefully she’ll be able to shed some light on how did it got going so fast, so hard, in the middle of the day,” said Beckwith.
