Fatal fire on Sandy Lake not considered suspicious

The Nishnawbe Aski Police says a fatal fire on the Sandy Lake First Nation last week likely was not deliberately set.

Police say a male youth was pronounced dead last Thursday.

Nine other people managed to escape the blaze and were treated for smoke inhalation.

NAPS says the investigation is now concluded, and the matter is now between police and impacted community members.
