Father of 3 Indiana fire victims found dead hours later

Contains more information on relationships. More importantly, info on the father of the 3 young children, Daniel Hite, who was found deceased at another location in Flora.

Makes no sense.

An unbelievable coincidence??

May have been electrical but not sure so they seem to not really know at all.

Old article.
Greeson said Wednesday that the investigation into the cause of the fire could take weeks because of the level of destruction.

The last I saw on the Logansport fire was that the cause is still undetermined. Six people died.

The father of three children killed in the fire was found dead in nearby Flora just two hours after the fire was reported.

Four girls died in an arson fire in Flora. This case is unsolved and LE says that people who have information that could solve the case are not cooperating with LE. They specifically said they have not been able to speak with some family members.

I am very suspicious of this fires origins.

The father that was found dead----did he know about the fire before he died?

No, at least according to what was reported. He was found dead a few hours after the fire but he hadn’t been notified.

He hadn't been formally notified, but did he already know, some other way?

It is quite a coincidence that his daughters die in a house fire, then he is found dead, hours later, and there is no connection.

Right - I have wondered the same thing.

Apparently the cause of the fire is undetermined.



Investigators said in a release that there was no indication the fire was intentionally set. After an inspection, the stove and water heater were ruled out as the sources of the fire. Some evidence points to an electrical issue, investigators say, but the exact cause is still unknown.

Some accident, it burned to the ground. Maybe, of course, we don't know what people were doing there, and no working smoke alarms is the recipe for disaster, but either it is a common thing in this area, or...I don't know.

Was it ever finally reported what DH's cause of death was...if not suicide nor homicide, as stated by police?
