Following an apartment fire that killed five people Thanksgiving day, the police chief in Wheaton says the fire marshall has listed the cause as 'undetermined'. 

Chief Clint Clark says it appears to have started on the second floor and spread from there, destroying eight apartments. 

The coroner confirms Mary Henning, her son Brandon Thurston, Jay Gemmecke and Mollie Doherty died in the fire. 

Henning's family says the other person who died was her boyfriend, Corey Hasche. 

Friends and family have started a Facebook page to serve as a memorial to some of the victims.

It took 7 fire departments 2 hours to put out the flames.
