5 dead, including 3 children, in house fire in Nara Pref

I would jump before burning to death...RIP

RIP.

Very strange...why would they all be in the same room, and on the second floor?

Most people die from smoke inhalation. It can happen pretty fast.

Very strange...why would they all be in the same room, and on the second floor?

Watching TV, eating a meal? Or more sadly, huddled together and terrified as the fire takes hold.

If you realize you can't escape, wouldn't you want to spend your last moments with your loved ones?

Not strange at all, just tragic :-(
