Police in eastern Norway have finished their forensic investigation of the deadly Hamar fire. Four young women died in the September blaze at a residential property.
The fire cause remains unknown and might never be determined, according to officials. Investigators released the property on Tuesday but continue their work on the case.
Police are still waiting for forensic analysis results. They cannot estimate when these will be ready.
Officials believe the fire likely started outdoors, though this remains uncertain. There is no suspicion of criminal activity involved in the tragedy.
Investigators have conducted multiple witness interviews and gathered digital evidence. They now have a good understanding of the events that unfolded that evening.
This tragic incident highlights the challenges fire investigators face when evidence is limited. Without clear answers about the cause, the community struggles with unresolved questions about the deaths of four young people.
