Three die in house fire

 Investigators are combing through the wreckage of a house fire that claimed three lives early yesterday morning south of Eganville.
    Provincial police say three adults died in the blaze in the Bonnechere Valley, about 100 km west of Ottawa.
    Police and fire department crews responded to an emergency call at 5:15 a.m., arriving to find the century home engulfed in flames.
    The bodies of two adults were removed from the charred remains of the house.
    A third adult body was discovered later at the scene.
    The names of the victims have not been released while police attempt to contact next-of-kin.
    Police are treating the area as a crime scene as they continue their investigation, and the fire is considered suspicious although no cause has yet been determined.
