INDIANAPOLIS — A man trying to find a way out his burning home got trapped in its bathroom Saturday and could only listen in horror to the screams of two of his children, who died in the fire along with his girlfriend, friends and authorities said.
Daniel Fox, 37, told fire investigators he ran into the first-floor bathroom of the two-story rental house, looking for a way out for himself and the three others after the blaze broke out about 6 a.m. But the door, which had no doorknob, closed behind him and he couldn’t open it.
Fox’s children apparently were overcome by smoke as they pounded on the door. He escaped by breaking a window and jumping out.
