Morgan County Coroner Annette Butcher on Friday identified 40-year-old Melissa White of Martinsville in addition to 39-year-old David Fouts, whose  mobile home in Martinsville burned in the fire early Wednesday.

Butcher says she expects to identify the third victim, a man, Saturday through dental records.

Firefighters discovered three bodies inside the mobile home after the fire was extinguished.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
