Hilltop house fire leaves 3-year old dead

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN) -- A 3-year old boy is dead following a fire early Friday in Columbus's Hilltop neighborhood.

It broke out around 6:30 a.m. in the 1500 block of Humphrey Avenue, south of West Mound Street.

Franklin Township fire crews discovered the boy's body in the back of the house. His name hasn't been released yet.

ABC6/FOX28 reports the boy's mother and grandmother were also in the house and made it out safely, though the mother was taken to Mount Carmel West and said to be in critical condition from burns and breathing in smoke.
