Authorities have now confirmed their child, 5-year-old Sadrac Decimy, died Saturday morning at HCA Florida Kendall Hospital. Two other siblings — a 13-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy, remain in HCA Kendall in stable condition, said Key West police spokesperson Alyson Crean.
While the cause of the fire has not been officially stated, a law enforcement source told the Miami Herald that an initial investigation indicates the source of the fire was a space heater.
