\nAuthorities have released the names of two people found dead after a fire in Louisville’s Chickasaw neighborhood early Monday morning. <\/p>\n
Seven-year-old Kakozi Alinoti and 65-year-old Micheli Lwangila were pronounced dead at the scene, after a fire tore through a 1.5 story home in the 1100 block of Cecil Avenue, off Hale Avenue near S. 42nd Street. <\/p>\n
The coroner’s report indicates that the cause and manner of death are still pending. <\/p>\n
The first reports of the fire came in at 5:47 a.m., according to Louisville Fire and Rescue Chief Brian O’Neill, who said people were still inside the home when firefighters arrived three minutes after the first call was received.<\/p>\n
Crews entered through the front door and second story window, where they found and removed three victims while fighting the flames from the inside with handheld hoses. <\/p>\n
O’Neill said another adult was taken to UofL Hospital’s burn unit in critical condition, but there is no update on that person’s condition at this time. <\/p>\n
The victims were found in different areas of the home, and were not in the same room. <\/p>\n
O’Neill said other people were able to escape from the home but their names, ages, and relationships aren’t known at this time. <\/p>\n
Officials said Monday that they believe the fire started in the front living room on the first floor, and may have been caused by a space heater, either combustibles igniting near the heater or an electrical malfunction. <\/p>\n
Louisville Fire confirmed the fire was accidental. <\/p>\n
O’Neill said the home was equipped with working smoking detectors.
