CHICAGO — Two brothers found dead along with their mother and younger brother in a smoldering Chatham home last summer were officially identified by medical examiners.

Andrew Simms Jr., 11, and Kameron Simms, 10, were found dead in a Chatham home on the 8300 block of South Drexel Avenue on July 18 along with their mother Latoya Jackson and brother Kantrell Williams, 5.

Kantrell and Jackson were already identified, but it took nine months to release the names of two other boys found in the house.

Both Andrew and Kameron died of "inhalation of products of combustion" and incendiary house fire, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office. Carbon monoxide was found in Kameron's body.

All four deaths were ruled homicides.

No arrests have been made.
