Autopsies revealed no unusual trauma on a couple and their 10-year-old granddaughter who died in a house fire hours before a man suspected of raping the girl was to go on trial, a forensic pathologist said Tuesday.
All three died quickly of smoke inhalation, and there was no sign of trauma other than burns and soot from the Monday blaze in Youngstown, said Dr. Joseph Ohr of the Mahoning County coroner’s office.
Ohr said he won’t rule on their manner of death, such as whether the deaths were accidental, until he receives reports from arson investigators and homicide detectives.

Chief Fire Investigator Alvin Ware said two of the victims were deaf. Ohr tentatively identified the victims as 63-year-old William Schmidt, 61-year-old Judith Schmidt and a granddaughter who lived with them.
