Nova Scotia RCMP say the autopsies are complete for the family of six that died in a trailer fire in Millvale, N.S., over the weekend.

The Mounties said today in a news release the provincial fire marshal's office continues to investigate the cause of the blaze.

Authorities responded to a call about the fire on Sunday evening and found the family of six from Amherst, N.S, dead in a Passport Ultra Lite trailer.

The victims are 30-year-old Robert Jorge Sears, his partner, 28-year-old Michelle Robertson, and their four children, Madison, 11, Robert Ryder, 8, Jaxson, 4, and Colin J., 3.
