The state Department of Homeland Security says the cause of a house fire in northern Indiana that killed a state trooper and his daughter has been declared undetermined.

Officer Stephanie Thompson and Mya Thompson died on February 17 after a fire completely engulfed their Monticello home.

The scene was examined by department investigators, as well as investigators and engineers from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the agency said.

Sergeant Thompson was a 23-year veteran of the State Police and the wife of White Circuit Judge Jason Thompson.
