TALSI - Four people have died in the Latvian town of Talsi as a fire consumed a 12 square meter garden shack.

Firefighters were called to the scene at about 10pm on Jan 24. The bodies were so badly burned by the blaze that it was impossible to determine the identitiy of the victims.

Authorities believe that the bodies were those of four homeless people who had gone into the shack to avoid the elements. The fire was likely started by a stove.
