The investigation continues into the cause of a house fire that claimed the lives of a woman and three children over the weekend.
The blaze destroyed a home in Auburndale on the South Shore early Saturday morning.
The remains of a 33-year-old woman, an 11-year-old, a 9-year-old, and an 8-year-old were found inside the home.
Autopsies have been completed by the Nova Scotia Medical Examiner’s Office.
A 36-year-old man and a 4-year-old child escaped.
The Mounties do not believe the fire to be suspicious based on the evidence gathered.
The Nova Scotia Fire Marshal’s Office is continuing the investigation.
