MARKS, Miss. -- A woman, her 7-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old granddaughter died when fire swept through their wood-frame home Friday.

Other family members escaped and were treated at a hospital and released, officials said. Volunteer firefighters said the home was fully in flames when they arrived before dawn.

The bodies of Vanessa Abraham, daughter Khadesia Abraham, and granddaughter Jazz Smith were found inside, authorities said.

Autopsies and an investigation were planned, but no foul play was suspected, officials said.
