NORWICH – The forensic results from evidence gathered at the scene of deadly Norwich fire that claimed two lives shows nothing suspicious, according to county and state fire officials.
“We’ve received the test results back from Albany and they came back showing nothing suspicious,” said Matthew L. Beckwith the Chenango County Fire Coordinator.
The fire took the life of a 79-year-old Donald K. Loomis on Dec. 7 and then claimed his 80-year-old wife, Ida M. Loomis on Dec. 11, after she succumbed to her injuries.
Their daughter, 40-year-old Christine L. Loomis, was released Thursday from the University Hospital in Syracuse after suffering from severe burns and smoke inhalation.
