POUGHKEEPSIE, NY - Poughkeepsie authorities continue their investigation into a house fire that killed two female Marist College students and a male friend early Saturday morning.

Police Sgt. Eric Hawlk said ongoing investigation is being handled by the department's detectives.

21-year-old Marist student Eva Block of Woodbridge, Conn., died Saturday from smoke inhalation, police said, according to The Journal .

The other two victims have not been officially identified, pending autopsy results, but friends and family told the newspaper they were Kerry Fitzsimons of Commack, N.Y., who was also a student at Marist, and Kevin Johnson of New Canaan, Conn., who did not attend the school.

Autopsies on Fitzsimons and Johnson were expected to be completed Sunday, Dutchess County Chief Medical Examiner Kari Reiber said.

Four other Marist students, two females who lived there and two male friends, jumped through windows as the blaze engulfed the 99-year-old house at 112 Fairview Avenue.

Police interviewed the four survivors after they were treated for minor injuries at Saint Francis Hospital and were able to provide details of the incident.

Four of the six female students who lived in the house and three male friends, two attended Marist and a third is believed to attended another nearby college, gathered for a dinner party and went to bed after midnight.

Police say one of the males who were sleeping on the second floor, awoke about 1:30 a.m. He felt the doorknob of the bedroom door and found it was hot. He and the female student in the room jumped out a second-story window to safety.

Another couple sleeping in a first-floor bedroom also woke up and saw the fire and jumped from a first-story window.

Video of the fire obtained by Fox 5 News showed the entire house engulfed in the overnight fire. Six female students reportedly rented the private home.

Fire officials said the blaze broke out around 1:20 a.m. The charred house was bulldozed Saturday after the flames were extinguished.

The spring semester had just started at Marist, a small private school about 80 miles north of Manhattan.

Ashley Fauteux, 27, a neighbor, told The Journal that she spotted the fire early Saturday and called 911. She said she and three friends were trying to rescue people trapped in the house when they saw a fireball burst from the rear of the wooden structure.

She says she then saw a female "fly through" a first floor window, breaking the glass.

"Apparently her boyfriend threw her out," she said, adding that all the girl "kept saying was that her best friend was inside."

The boyfriend jumped out the window and both were taken to the hospital, Fauteux said.

In a statement, Marist College said the school's security force and other officials were "working closely with the emergency responders to gather more information about the incident."

It also said, "The Marist community's thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by this terrible tragedy."

It is not clear what sparked the devastating blaze.

Out of respect for the students and families affected by this tragedy, the college said it is postponing the school's men's basketball game on Sunday and the women's basketball game on Monday night.

A candlelight vigil for the victims was held Sunday after 12:00 p.m. mass at Marist's chapel, with another scheduled for after the 7:00 p.m. mass, student body president Andrew Paulsen said.

Funeral services for Block were scheduled for Monday afternoon in Fairfield, Conn., The Journal reported.
