Fatal Fire under investigation

Deputies from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office responded to 2652 Silverfalls Dr SE on the report of a mobile home fire. Fire Personnel from the Drakes Crossings Fire Department had already extinguished the fire and transported 2 people from the location. One male in his 20’s was transported to Legacy Emanuel Hospital by air ambulance and the other, which was a juvenile male was transported to Salem Hospital by ambulance.

Deputies secured the scene and requested additional resources for the investigation, which is on-going. There were 2 deceased people located in the mobile home, one was a female in her 20’s and the other, a juvenile male. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time but the initial information does not show evidence of criminal activity.

It is still early in the investigation and the process of gathering evidence in these types of situations is slow. We are not releasing the names of the involved people until family members are notified.
