The team said that so far, the evidence points to the possibility that an electrical outlet connected to a charger overheated, causing a short circuit. The team scouring the premises noted that the residence was highly loaded with equipment, causing an extremely large fire.
The investigation concluded that there is no evidence of foul play or arson. The residence was used temporarily by the Shaer family. Police is looking into a possibility of negligence, and weather the building was fit for residence.
