YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning County Coroner’s Office has identified the boy, 5, who died in a Sunday morning house fire at 127 N. Maryland Ave. as Amir Harrison.

An autopsy was to be conducted at the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office, and the incident “remains under investigation,” the coroner’s office stated in a news release. The coroner’s office was notified of the boy’s death at 7 a.m. Sunday by St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital.

The fire was reported at 5:58 a.m. and did considerable damage to the two-story home, forcing the boy’s mother to jump to the ground from a second floor porch, causing injuries.

Five of her children escaped the fire, but Amir hid in a closet and was found by firefighters, Youngstown Fire Chief Barry Finley said during a Monday press conference.

Finley warned people against using space heaters as the sole source of heat, as the family in this case did, because of the potential that such heaters could overheat a circuit, resulting in fire.
