Samantha Keddie remains in critical yet stable condition two days after the death of her 20-month-old twin sister, Ava, after the toddlers suffered burns to 30-per-cent of their bodies during an accidental fire in the families' Surrey, B.C. apartment last week.
A candlelight vigil was held in Surrey for Ava Sunday night, following her death in the early moments of Saturday morning.
Before the weekend, both girls' condition was upgraded to serious but stable.
No new details have arisen from the RCMP investigation that has been completed.
"We've concluded [the fire]not to be suspicious," Cpl. Drew Grainger of the Surrey detachment said on Monday morning.
He reiterated that the fire was believed to have started when a lamp fell over in the twins' bedroom igniting their bedding.
Samantha and Ava were pulled from the fire by two brothers, Matt and Simon Gallant, who live across the hall from the Keddies at the 9500-block of 127 Avenue in Cedar Hills neighbourhood.
A Facebook page set up in support of the Keddie family had over 200 members by early Monday morning.
Dozens of messages for the Keddies are pouring in. One read "My deepest sympathy and condolences to your family. I also have twin girls (three years old) and I cannot imagine my life without them. My thoughts are with you all."
A photo album had also been set up titled "Pictures From Daddy." Inside the album a dozen or so photos showed Ava posing with family. There is one photo of her in front of the Christmas tree, and another of her sitting with her sister Samantha and her family with Santa Claus.
The family continues to ask for privacy but donations can be made to the Keddies at Coast Capital for "Samantha and Ava in Trust."
