Carrollton Fire Chief Shane Thomas said the family got home around 9:30 p.m. Saturday, started a fire in the stove and went to bed, according to the Canton Repository.

The father woke to the smell of smoke and the parents quickly made their way to the first and called for Aiden to escape through a window, WJW reported. He was unable to escape and lost his life in the fire.

The Carrollton Fire Department took to social media to express their condolences.

“We would like to express our deepest sympathy to the McNutt family while they navigate through their tragic loss. Beyond words,” the fire department said.
