The bodies of two people killed in a deadly fire at Fort Lee will be brought to Portsmouth.

Their bodies will be examined at the Naval Hospital.

Around 3 Monday morning, a man and a child were found dead in a housing duplex on the military grounds.

The fire spread quickly enough to also burn a part of a neighboring home.

So far, officials still don't know what caused it but they spent much of the day investigating the scene.
