A mother and her infant son were killed in a devastating house fire in Mayfield early Monday morning.
The Graves County Sheriff’s Office said someone called 911 just after 1 a.m. to report a burning home in the 5300 block of Central Road.
Sheriff’s deputies were on scene within minutes and found three people had already escaped, however two others were still inside.
“Equipped with a sledgehammer and pry bars, the deputies were unable to gain entry due to the structure being fully engulfed in flames,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
It took crews from multiple nearby fire departments several hours to extinguish the inferno.
Just before 6 a.m., the bodies of 19-year-old Arianna Teems and her 7-month-old son, Cole Walker, were found in the rubble.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
