Cause Of Deadly Greene Co. Fire Not Determined

WAYNESBURG, Pa. (AP) ― A state police fire marshal cannot determine what caused a fire that killed seven people in Greene County last month.

State police in Washington, Pennsylvania, say the house was so severely damaged the fire marshal couldn't tell
how the fire started.

The February 17 fire in Franklin Township killed 26-year-old Rebecca Eddy, three of her children, two nephews and a niece.

County Coroner Greg Rohanna issued death certificates last month saying the deaths were accidental because no foul play was suspected.

The state police investigation had focused on space heaters used in the home, because the home's natural gas service had been shut off nearly two years ago.
