The boys’ mother and younger twin siblings were taken to a hospital for evaluations after the blaze, the Oconee County Coroner’s Office told WYFF.

“The fire remains under investigation by the Oconee County Fire – Emergency Services, Oconee County Sheriff’s Department, SLED (S.C. Law Enforcement Division) Fire Investigators and the SC Fire Marshal’s Office,” the coroner’s office wrote in a news release, adding that autopsies would be performed.
