DAVIDSON — An 80-year-old man, 81-year-old woman and three children are dead after a house fire in Davidson.

At approximately 12:30 p.m. on Feb. 18, Craik RCMP received a report of a house fire on Ottawa Street in Davidson.

Members attended the scene immediately where the Davidson Fire Department was already responding and discovered the residence in flames. Several people were inside the home at the time of the fire.

An 80-year-old male and 81-year-old female were removed from the house and transported to Davidson Hospital where they were pronounced deceased.

Once the fire was extinguished, the remains of three children were found inside the home. Autopsies for all five individuals are anticipated to take place in Saskatoon this week.

RCMP held the scene overnight and Craik RCMP in conjunction with Saskatchewan Public Safety have now determined that the fatal house fire was non-suspicious in nature.

"The police investigation is now complete and no further updates will be provided," stated the RCMP in a release. "Our thoughts are with all those impacted at this difficult time."
