People in a remote northern Manitoba community are grieving the deaths of a child and adult male in a house fire early Saturday morning.

The Manitoba RCMP say they were called to a residence in Norway House at 2:30 a.m. 

When officers arrived the house was completely engulfed in flames.

Several people had managed to get out of the burning house, however, a five-year-old child along with a 45-year-old male were still unaccounted for.

Once the fire was out, fire personnel located two bodies inside the residence. The bodies are believed to be those of the child and male adult. Autopsies are scheduled.

The Office of the Fire Commissioner along with the RCMP continue to investigate.
