KENOSHA — The Kenosha Police Department said two people have died after an apartment fire early Sunday morning.

The fire happened near 36th and 50th around 1 a.m. When firefighters arrived, they found the second floor of an apartment building on fire.

Neighbors in the area confirm a family of 6 lived in the unit where both the child and man were killed.

Fire officials had the blaze under control within an hour, but smoke and water damage have made the place uninhabitable.

Kenosha police said two people died in the fire, an adult male and a boy. Their ages and identities were not released.

While police said there's no evidence of foul play, they will still treat the area as a crime scene.

An investigation into the fire is ongoing, and police said there won't be any more updates at least until Monday.
