2 children and father die in garage fire

A father and his two children died in a garage fire in Warwick, Quebec on Tuesday morning.

CBC News reports that the remains found in the burning garage may belong to the residents of the home. Neighbours alerted fire fighters at around three AM.

A bitter child custody battle between the victim and his former partner may have played a role in the deaths. The father Jocelyn Marcoux had full custody of his children; however, a hearing was scheduled on Tuesday to modify that arrangement.

Marcoux last post to his Facebook page expresses his frustration with the bitter custody battle and with the system.

Police have not ruled out a double murder suicide in this case.
