Two of the deceased have been identified as Leo Li and Tiffany Zhen, a couple who emigrated from China 20 years ago and raised a son in the Lower Mainland.
Jean Zhou, a friend and neighbour who worked with Li years ago, said the entire family tutored different subjects out of a home business started by Zhen, and seemed to have strong bonds with one another.
"They were a very, very good family," Zhou told reporters outside of the property Tuesday. "They were very happy with their life."
Li and Zhen both attended Peking University, where they studied physics and French, respectively, their neighbour said. While they initially took jobs at Future Shop and Sears after moving to British Columbia, they were eventually able to make a living tutoring local students from Fraser Heights Secondary.
"Chinese families, they all send their kids to (their) house," Zhou said.
After the couple's son went off to university and earned his own degree in English, he came home to tutor with them, Zhou said.
