In the heart of Offenbach, an investigation continues after a tragic fire claimed the lives of two individuals. As per initial reports, one of the deceased was a lively three-year-old. The identity of the second victim, however, remains elusive, with the public prosecutor's office unable to confirm it as of Friday.
The fire ignited in a commercial and residential building in the city center on Tuesday evening, leaving three other residents gravely injured. Among them, a 14-year-old boy, a 40-year-old woman, and a 45-year-old woman, all of whom are currently in stable condition. The three-year-old boy, initially hospitalized, passed away shortly afterwards, while the identity of the second victim was only discovered the following day.
Police reports suggest that the fire's cause and the circumstances leading to the tragic deaths have yet to be determined. Preliminary damage estimates put the figure at 250,000 euros.
As the investigation continues, the public prosecutor's office is collaborating closely with the German Press Agency to establish the identity of the unidentified victim. Regrettably, the specifics of the fire's cause and the exact events that led to the young lives lost still remain a mystery.
