EDISON, N.J. (AP) - A woman and her 6-year-old granddaughter were the two people killed in a fire at a New Jersey duplex this week, authorities announced Friday.
But it’s still not clear what caused the fire that was reported around 2:20 p.m. Wednesday in Edison.
Kathleen O’Callahan, 56, of Edison, was pronounced dead at the scene, while her granddaughter died at a hospital later that day. The girl’s name has not been released.
Authorities have not said whether either victim lived at the Jill Court home or what caused their deaths. A dog was also killed in the fire.
The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
