3 children now dead after Lower Sackville house fire
An online fundraiser for the family said Tuesday that a boy and girl had died after 'fighting for their lives'
Two more children have died following a duplex fire early Saturday morning in Lower Sackville, N.S., according to a GoFundMe page set up by a family friend to support the family.
On Tuesday, Alyssa Porter wrote that a five-year-old boy and a nine-year-old girl had died after "fighting for their lives." A six-year-old girl, a relative, died in the duplex on Saturday morning.
"Their little bodies fought with unimaginable strength, but God had other plans," the post read.
"During this time of profound sorrow, we ask you to keep their family in your prayers as they navigate this loss."
Crews responded to the fire at the home on Riverside Drive around 3:12 a.m. Saturday.
A vigil was held outside the family's home on Sunday evening.
According to Halifax Regional Fire, there is no indication the fire is suspicious.
