“On the night of June 6, a fire broke out in a private house on Ordzhonikidze Street in the city of Taishet,” says a statement from the Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee for the region.

The bodies of children aged 1 and 5 years old, as well as the body of their 24-year-old father, were found at the site of the fire.

According to the version of the investigation, the mother left the children unattended.

“At 4 o'clock in the morning, her ex-husband called her and informed about the fire.

The man did not live with his family.

Most likely, he tried to save the children, but he died as soon as he entered the house, ”the UK noted.

A criminal case was initiated.

Earlier, two people died and one was injured in a fire in an 11-storey residential building in Moscow.
