(Gray News) - A 4-year-old boy reportedly died days after a house fire that also killed his father.

Emergency crews responded to reports of the fire early Sunday morning, according to Daily Mail UK.

Ethan Mason was pulled from the building after his ‘dad ran back inside to save his little boy’, his family said on a GoFundMe page.

The family said 45-year-old father Barry Mason died from his injuries.

Following the house fire, Ethan reportedly suffered at least 70% burns to his body and he was placed into a medically induced coma.

Officers don’t believe that there are any suspicious circumstances involved.
