Cops say no one else was involved
Detectives have ruled out foul play in a tragic Blackpool house fire which killed a young couple and left their children in hospital. Lancashire Police say there was no third party involved in the blaze - and have called for an end to speculation surrounding the fire.
A spokesman said: "Following a comprehensive investigation by officers from our Force Major Investigation Team, working alongside our colleagues from Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service and other experts, we can now confirm that the fire is not being treated as suspicious. We know that there has been speculation around potential third party involvement and hope this update puts an end to any uncertainty.
"Officers were called to Peter Street in Blackpool at 2.39am last Wednesday following reports of a fire with people reported to be inside the property. There was a significant emergency response involving officers and our colleagues from Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service." Young mum 24-year-old Danielle Bamber was found dead at the scene and her partner Joshua Pearson, 28, later died in hospital. The couple lived at the address along with their two children aged six years and 21 months. The six-year-old was taken to hospital after the fire but thankfully did not sustain any serious injuries and has since been discharged. The 21-month-old remains in hospital in a poorly condition.
