Both brothers appeared to be smoking bullies, according to the Basque Government Department of Security, and although the Ertzaintza is investigating what happened, they allegedly lost control of the fire they had fired and were caught by fire.

On Tuesday afternoon, around 17:00 a.m., the corpses were found when the firefighters went to extinguish the fire. Then came the members of the health services, checked the death and took them to the Bilbao Forensic Pathology Service to perform the autopsy.
