Members of the family of a little boy who died after a house fire in Winnipeg’s West End gathered for a candlelight vigil Saturday evening. 

A crowd of about a dozen, that included the boy’s mother and grandmother, remained mostly silent, speaking in hushed voices as they smudged and laid toys by the front door.

Multiple people escaped from the house on Simcoe Street after a fire broke out around 6 a.m. Thursday morning.

CBC
About a dozen people gathered on Saturday evening in front of the house on Simcoe Street where a fire on Thursday sent nine people to hospital and led to the death of a five-year-old boy.
