Her respiratory tract was also severely burned, and we had to put her on a ventilator. Due to complications with her respiratory tract, she passed away at 4 am on Tuesday. Her husband had also sustained 60 percent burn injuries, but the condition of his respiratory tract is much better, with not much damage.”
