Woman, 66, is the 10th person to die after Massachusetts assisted-living facility fire
Officials are confirming Saturday that a tenth person has died after the fire that tore through an assisted-living facility in Massachusetts last weekend. Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn III says that 66-year-old Brenda Cropper died Friday at a hospital. Quinn says she had been in critical condition all week. The fire erupted Sunday evening, leaving some residents hanging out windows of the three-story facility screaming for help. The cause remains under investigation, but Quinn’s office says it does not appear suspicious. Fire officials say the blaze started in a room on the second floor.
