AUSTIN, Ind. – State police say as many as four people have been found dead at the scene of a house fire in southern Indiana.

Authorities were investigating the deaths Friday night in Austin, about 35 miles north of Louisville, Ky.

Police spokesman Sgt. Jerry Goodin wouldn't discuss the cause of death. He says autopsies are scheduled for Saturday in Louisville.

Police have not released the victims' identities.
