BALTIMORE — Three people have died after being pulled overnight from a burning rowhome in Highlandtown.
The two-alarm fire broke out Tuesday around 2am in the 3400 block of E. Lombard Street.
Despite heavy smoke and fire coming from both floors of the home, crews were able to make entry to discover three people "unconscious and non-responsive."
Fire officials confirmed two victims were children, an 8-year-old brother and his 13-year-old sister. Their 22-year-old cousin also died.
The youngest child passed away shortly after being rescued. The cousin died a day later, followed by the sister on Thursday.

We're told arson investigators have taken over the case to determine the cause.
