Tufts student killed in fire 

A Tufts student is dead and three others are without a home this week following a two-alarm fire on Harris Street early Saturday morning. City, police and fire officials are still investigating whether the loft where the four students lived was in violation of the city's building safety codes.

In a statement released by Fire Chief Frank Giliberti Tuesday, investigators have concluded the fire was accidental.

"While official cause of the fire will remain undetermined, investigators concluded that the fire was accidental, most likely caused by improper use of smoking materials," said the statement.
