Police are continuing their investigation into the deaths of a mother and her three children in an Ashburton home.

They were apparently gassed by car that was left running in an adjoining garage at the Thomson Street home in what police are describing as a tragic accident.

The mother has been identified as Cindy George, and her children as two year old Telyzshaun George, three year old Teuruaa George, and five year old Pio Raukete.

The house filled up with fumes when a vehicle was left on in a connecting garage. Ms George was found in the hallway, while the children were in the lounge with the television still on.

There was no sign of forced entry, and no trauma to the victims.

The deaths have left friends, family and the community in shock.
