UPDATE: Thursday, Nov. 10, 3 p.m.
Bancroft OPP say the remains of two people have been found at the site of a fire that destroyed a Whytes Road home last week.
A police spokesperson says the bodies have not been identified. He also says the incident is still under investigation and it’s too early to say whether the deaths were an accident or a result of criminal activity.
Bancroft OPP and fire crews were called to the home, in the Township of Carlow-Mayo, at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 4.
The house was fully engulfed in flames when they arrived. Police said earlier that the owners of the home were “unaccounted for.”
The Office of the Fire Marshall, the Bancroft OPP Crime Unit and the OPP Forensic Identification Unit are all part of the investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call OPP or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
