The two adult victims were discovered in a bedroom on the north end of the trailer. The juvenile, believed to be a 6-year-old boy, was discovered on the west side of the structure.

The Natchitoches Parish Coroner’s Office took custody of the bodies and will determine identifications and causes of death.

At this time, due to the extent of the fire damage, investigators are still trying to determine an exact origin and cause. However, investigators do not believe the fire to be suspicious at this time.
