Crews made a grim discovery during the demolition of a fire-ravaged Brampton home this week, uncovering two bodies in the wreckage of the November 20 blaze that destroyed the residence on Banas Way.
The Discovery and Investigation
Emergency crews located the remains on Monday, November 24, 2025, while conducting controlled demolition of the severely damaged structure. The house had been completely destroyed by the intense fire that erupted on November 20, leaving the building unstable and requiring careful dismantling by demolition teams.
Peel Regional Police and fire investigators have launched a comprehensive investigation into both the cause of the fire and the circumstances surrounding the deaths. Authorities have not yet released the identities of the victims as they work to notify next of kin and complete formal identification procedures.
Community Impact and Response
The discovery has sent shockwaves through the Brampton neighborhood, where residents had been hoping for positive news following the devastating fire. The Banas Way community now faces the sobering reality of a double tragedy unfolding in their midst.
Fire officials confirmed that the demolition process was necessary due to the extensive structural damage caused by the flames. The controlled takedown allowed investigators to safely access areas of the property that were previously unreachable due to collapse risks.
Ongoing Investigation
Investigators remain at the scene conducting a thorough examination of the evidence. The Office of the Fire Marshal has been notified and is expected to join the investigation to determine the exact cause and origin of the fire that led to this tragic outcome.
Police are asking anyone with information about the fire or who may have witnessed suspicious activity around the Banas Way property in the days leading up to November 20 to contact Peel Regional Police immediately. The investigation continues as authorities work to piece together the events that led to this devastating loss of life.
