House Fire Leaves Three Dead in Tokyo
The blaze erupted at approximately 3 a.m. local time in Mutsuzawa, engulfing a residential property home to six family members, according to a Japanese public broadcaster, which cited police and fire department officials. The structure was completely destroyed before crews managed to bring the fire under control roughly five hours later.
Search teams initially recovered two bodies from the charred ruins, with a third discovered as operations continued.
In the aftermath, three family members remained unaccounted for — two young elementary school-aged girls and their grandmother, believed to be in her 60s. Investigators suspect the three recovered bodies belong to the missing relatives.
Two other occupants — the girls' grandfather, believed to be in his 70s, and their mother, estimated to be in her 30s — sustained injuries and were transported to a nearby hospital. Both were conscious upon arrival, the broadcaster reported, citing police. The children's father was not present at the residence when the fire broke out.
No cause has been determined, and the investigation remains ongoing.
