More than three weeks after the deadly fire in Crans-Montana, serious doubts are emerging about the owners’ version of events.

Investigators now say a ground-floor door was not just a back door, but a planned emergency exit. And it was locked. At least one victim died behind it.

The owners blame a seasonal worker, but his police statement directly contradicts their claims.

The case file also challenges the idea that the door was merely a service entrance.

Add highly flammable foam on the ceiling and missed safety issues during inspections - the key question remains, was it a tragic accident or a chain of preventable failures?
