Two small children perished in a house fire in eastern Kentucky.

The Martin County Coroner’s Office told WSAZ.com that four-year-old Greyson Marcum and one-year-old Jason Mollette died in a residential fire Friday morning at approximately 9:00.

An adult female was transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

It’s unclear how the fire began but Kentucky State Police said foul play is not suspected. The state Fire Marshal’s Office is leading the investigation.

The fire was at a home on Tug River Road in the Turkey Creek region of Martin County.
