Carpentersville Village President John Skillman said on Monday that “the village is heartbroken by the tragedy” of losing three toddlers in a fire Sunday morning.
He spoke at a news conference Monday afternoon alongside the police and fire chiefs, giving a few new details.
The children’s names have not been released.
Kane County Coroner Monica Silva, who is conducting autopsies on two of the children who were pronounced dead at the scene, said she is still confirming identities. The third child, a 2-year-old boy, died early Monday at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
The cause of the fire, which started on the lower level of the raised ranch house, has not been determined.
According to a GoFundMe fundraising page, the children were 2-year-old twins and a 1-year-old.
