The Latest: Mother and 5 kids killed in Michigan motel fire
SODUS TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — The Latest on a Michigan motel fire that killed six people from the same family (all times local):
4 p.m.
Authorities say they gave the wrong last name for a woman who was killed with five of her children in an overnight Michigan motel fire.
The Berrien County sheriff's office says the name of the 26-year-old woman who died in the early Saturday fire was Kiarre Curtis, not Kiarre Samuel. Her five children who died ranged in age from 2 to 10 years old. Smoke inhalation is the likely cause.
Curtis' husband, 36-year-old Samuel Curtis, escaped with another child. The fire occurred early Saturday at Cosmo Extended Stay Motel in Sodus (SO'-dis) Township in southwestern Michigan's Berrien County.
