Fires in Mattapoisett, Milton, Mass., kill 2

Two people have died in house fires in Milton and Mattapoisett.

Massachusetts Fire Marshal Stephen Coan withheld the identities of the victims and said investigators were working to determine the causes of the fires Sunday.

In Milton, authorities received a call about 7:30 Sunday night from a man saying his house was one fire. When firefighters arrived, they found most of the windows blown out and every room in flames.

Deputy Fire Chief Kevin Mahony says a body was found in second-floor bathroom, near a window. He says the house was full of clutter, which made it hard for firefighters to enter.
