Overview

• The pre-dawn fire began in a bedroom of a home at Fray Mamerto Esquiú and Buchardo in Córdoba’s Pueyrredón neighborhood.
• Victims were a 75-year-old man, his 10-year-old granddaughter, and his 7-year-old grandson, while the grandmother and three other children escaped with neighbors’ help and were treated for emotional shock.
• The investigation is led by the Fiscalía de Instrucción del Distrito 3, Turno 3, under fiscal Silvana Fernández with secretary Enrique Scagliotti.
• Investigators had examined whether the blaze was intentionally set in the context of a family dispute, but that line remains unproven as current tests point to an accidental origin.
• Firefighters arrived quickly and extinguished the flames, and authorities await autopsy results expected on Monday to complete the forensic picture.
