Inquest Opens Following Fire Tragedy

An inquest has opened into the deaths of three people who died in a house fire in Rushton last month.

Four-year-old Mayci Fox and her 30-year-old mum Emma Conn from Desborough and 23-year-old Louie Thorn from Rushton tragically died in the blaze at the former station house on March 28th.

Senior coroner Anne Pember opened the inquests into their deaths at Northampton Coroner’s Court and said the provisional cause of death was inhalation of smoke, pending further tests.

The inquest was adjourned until later this year.

The cause of the fire has not been revealed, although police deemed it ‘non-suspicious’.
