BOUCHERVILLE, Que. — Police are investigating the deaths of three men found in a home set ablaze south of Montreal.
Longueuil police said Friday they were contacted shortly after midnight by a woman fearing for relatives in the red-brick, semi-detached home in a quiet Boucherville street.
Officers discovered the bodies of three adult males and a fire that had just started inside the residence.
Firefighters were called to extinguish the blaze before investigators began their probe.
Longueuil police spokesman Tommy Lacroix said investigators are looking at the possibility the deaths were connected to a family dispute.
The identities of the deceased were not made public and autopsies were ordered to determine the cause of death.
Lacroix says traces of a fire accelerant were found at the scene.
