Five young children, a pregnant woman and her boyfriend died in a house fire Saturday morning in southeastern Kentucky.

Police told NBC affiliate WLEX-TV they don't believe foul play was involved. Flames were extinguished by 12:30.

Knox County Coroner Mike Blevins told The Associated Press the deceased are a man, his girlfriend and five children. The woman was the mother of three of the children, aged 3, 2 and 1, while the other two kids were sleeping over.

i would be interested in hearing the details. while there are many people who would still be asleep at that time it's more likely that at least some of them would have been awake then.

how about smoke alarms ?

very sad story, i hope they didn't suffer.
