Child Dies In House Fire On His Birthday

Detroit arson investigators say a fire that killed a two year boy on his birthday appears to be accidental.

The boy's grandmother and another child were also hospitalized as a result of the fire that broke out late last night in a duplex on East Grand Boulevard near Mt. Elliott.   

A witness told WWJ Newsradio 950 the smoke was so thick, he couldn't see ten feet away. 

Poliece are  trying to determine the cause of the deadly fire, but investigators say it was not intentionally set.
