An elderly couple is dead as the result of a house fire in Campbellton over the weekend.
RCMP were called on Saturday by a neighbor who was checking in on the pair. Police say a fire, which appears to have extinguished itself, had occurred inside the residence but was not detected by anyone outside the home.
The couple who were both in their eighties were found dead inside.
The Chief Medical Examiner and the Fire Commissioner’s office are involved in the investigation.
