NATIONAL PARK SERVICE MORNING REPORT Friday, October 14, 2011 INCIDENTS Grand Canyon NP RV Fire Deaths Deemed Probable Murders, Suicide The bodies of three people found inside of a recreational vehicle that burned at the South Entrance have been identified as those of Anthony Dehaven and his two juvenile children. Based on the evidence known to date, investigators believe Dehaven shot his two children before igniting a fire in the RV and then turning the gun on himself.

The investigation into the incident is being conducted by the National Park Service with support from the Flagstaff Fire Department, the Coconino County Medical Examiner's Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation Evidence Response Team, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
