Boy dies in house fire

By AP/KWMU

St. Louis, MO – A 7 year-old boy is dead after fire broke out in his west St. Louis home Sunday.

Calvin D'Wayne Sangster Jr. was trapped in a back bedroom of the home and his family couldn't reach him.

The blaze broke out about 3:00 Sunday morning.

Investigators say it appears to have been caused by a cigarette that ignited a trash bag.

Sangster would have been a second-grader this year at Parkway McKelvey School.
