Young Blast Victims to Be Laid to Rest Together
 

HOPKINTON, Mass. -- Two young Hopkinton sisters described as inseparable in life will be laid to rest in the same casket today.

4-year-old Iris and 5-year-old Violet Carey were killed last week in a house explosion believed to have been caused by natural gas.

A funeral Mass were held this morning at St. Mary's Church in Hopkinton.

Relatives say because the girls were so close, their parents decided to bury them in the same casket.

Meanwhile, investigators from the state fire marshal's office are still trying to determine what caused the deadly explosion in the early morning hours last Wednesday that tore the roof and upper floor off the multi-family home on Main Street.  (AP)
