Two people are dead following a house fire on Onion Lake Cree Nation.

RCMP say a fire broke out at a home in the community this past Saturday evening at around 8:17 pm.

Emergency crews responded to the fired, but were not able to fully extinguish the blaze until the next day where the bodies of two people were located inside.

The identity of the two individuals are not available at this time. The Chief Coroner’s Office is scheduled to conduct autopsies later this week to confirm the two peoples identities.

Police say the fire is not believed to be suspicious in nature, however, the investigation is ongoing.

No other details on the tragedy have been released at this time.
