Cara Delevingne’s house fire mystery: LA Fire Department fail to identify cause of blaze after weeks of investigation
The official cause of Cara Delevingne’s late March house fire has been ruled ‘undetermined’ by the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Investigators have not been able to identify exactly how the 31-year-old model’s $7M mansion was set ablaze, according to TMZ. Her parents had previously pointed to an electrical issue.
Despite weeks of investigation by the arson squad, the extensive damage made it difficult to determine the cause and the case has now officially been closed.
The officials did, however, make it clear that there were no signs of foul play.
The American Horror Story star initially took to her Instagram page to reveal the news of the devastating incident, at the time believing her two cats had perished in the flames.
‘My heart is broken today. I cannot believe it. Life can change in a blink of an eye. So cherish what you have,’ she wrote.
