Two people were found dead early Tuesday as Spokane Valley firefighters battled a house fire.
Crews were called to the home in the 1900 block of North Sipple Road about 1:40 a.m., Spokane Valley police said in a news release. Most of the residence was in flames by the time firefighters arrived. Firefighters found two bodies when they entered the home.
Spokane County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes detectives were called to the scene to work with Spokane Valley investigators.
“Because they’re still trying to get things confirmed, it is an investigation into their deaths,” said Deputy Mark Gregory, sheriff’s office spokesman. “We don’t know what causes this, or if it is a criminal matter.”
