In an update of a story we had for you earlier this week, the fire that claimed three lives in Oil City on Saturday has been ruled accidental.
According to ExploreJeffersonPA.com, the structure fire that occurred on East Bissell Ave. on Jan. 30 has been ruled accidental, due to an overloaded circuit.
The home has been ruled a total loss.
The victims have been identified as 57-year-old Lori King, 61-year-old Rodney Scott Connerly, and 68-year-old Debra Connerly.
Venango County Coroner tentatively identified their cause of death as smoke inhalation, though they are waiting on test results to verify cause of death.
