## Summary

A sixteen-month-old boy died in a house fire in Collie, south of Perth, after being found in his cot. Several other people inside the home escaped, and police say the death is not being treated as suspicious.

The fire began in a bedroom at about 2.30pm on Sunday, but its cause has not been established. The boy’s aunt said his mother was outside with two other children when the bedroom door and window combusted; emergency crews extinguished the blaze, which destroyed the house. Detectives will prepare a report for the coroner.
