RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - The Pennington County Sheriff’s Office has identified the last of three people who died in a mobile home fire in Rapid City.

Authorities say 52-year-old Thomas Milner was identified through DNA testing.

Nine-year-old Landon Gayton and 37-year-old Kelli Archer were identified earlier this week through fingerprints and dental records.



Preliminary autopsy results indicate all three died of smoke inhalation during the fire last Friday.

The cause of the fire is still being investigated.
