The cause of the crash is still under investigation.

Electrical fault cited in fatal St. George fire

Investigators haven’t been able to pinpoint the exact cause of a fatal fire in St. George in April…but believe it was electrical.

They say there was a tremendous number of scattered extension cords, power bars and wires in the house and a failure in one of them was the plausible cause.

80 year old Esther Boyd died in the blaze April 11th along with her three adult sons William, David, and Robert.
