On the night of the 7th, a house was burnt down in Tendo City, Yamagata Prefecture, and two bodies were found in the burnt remains.
Police are investigating that it was this parent and child who died because the 84-year-old woman who lives in this house and her daughter in her 50s could not be contacted.
Around 11:30 last night, a person living nearby found a fire in Tazuru-cho, Tendo City, and notified the fire department.
The fire was almost extinguished after about two hours, but about 260 square meters of a two-story wooden house was completely burned, and some of the windows and walls of the next house were burned.
In the fire, two bodies were found near the entrance on the first floor of the house at the source of the fire.
According to the police, Toshiko Takeda (84), who lives in this house, and Takeda's daughter in her 50s have lost contact after the fire.
The police are investigating the cause of the fire while confirming the identity of Mr. Takeda's parents and children who died.
The site is a residential area about 400 meters south of JR Tendo Station.
