Funds Raised For Family Of Young Boys Killed In Fire

CARPENTERSVILLE, IL — More than $30,000 has been raised for the family of three young boys killed in a house fire in Carpentersville this past week.

The GoFundMe has reached $31,643 as of Thursday morning. The funds will be used to help with the expenses related to the deaths of Kayden and Jayden Corsello, 2-year-old twin brothers, and their younger brother, Xander, 1, according to the GoFundMe.

Jayden and Xander died in the house fire in the 1700 block of Kingston Circle in Carpentersville Sunday morning. Kayden Vergil Corsello, 2, died at Loyola Medical Center at 12:36 a.m. on Monday, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.

The Kane County Coroner's Office on Monday announced it is conducting an independent investigation into the causes and manners of death for the children, according to a news release. Autopsies were performed on Monday.

"We are conducting further tests and toxicology, which will take a minimum of several weeks to yield
results. We are working closely with the Carpentersville Fire Department and affiliated local and
state agencies to gather all relevant facts," said Kane County Coroner Monica Silva.

Josephine Beauchane, the boys' mother, said she was with Kayden when he died and "felt his heart stop and watched as he took his last breath," according to NBC Chicago.

"... (I) had to sit there and listen as the doctors told me that they wouldn't be able to save him anymore," she told NBC Chicago.

The fire caused a $350,000 in damage and the home is uninhabitable, according to village officials. The cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
