Four children,
aged between 2 and 11-years-old, were among the dead who were
found in separate rooms of the Fenton Township house, Genesee
County Sheriff Robert Pickell told reporters on Sunday.
"It's very difficult," Pickell said in a recording of the
on-site news conference published online by local broadcaster
WJRT. "No matter how many investigations you conduct, seeing
young children and an entire family wiped out is a very, very
sad thing."
He said the family seemed to have a generator running in the
house, some 50 miles (80 km) northwest of Detroit, after a power
outage in the area on Friday. He said the husband's father was
the one who called police on Sunday.
He said an investigation was underway.
