All three identities and causes of death must be confirmed by autopsies, the statements said. They said the mobile home fire started in a bedroom, the house fire in the living room. Causes are being investigated.
The Ouachita Parish man was found in what investigators believe to have been a hallway. The Shreveport man was at the door with keys next to his hand, and the woman was a few feet away.
Eros is in Ouachita Parish, about 78 miles (126 kilometers) east of Shreveport.
