Three students were killed in an early morning fire that gutted a house near Miami University, authorities said.
Julia Turnbull, 21, of Milford, Ohio, and Kathryn Welling, 21, of Bronxville, N.Y., died of carbon monoxide poisoning, said Butler County Coroner Richard Burkhardt. The cause of death was not known for Stephen Smith, 22, of Bethesda, Md., one of nine students renting the home in Oxford, northwest of Cincinnati.
