Crises or urgent situations - A different person perishes due to a blaze in a seniors' residence.

In the northern Hesse town of Bad Sooden-Allendorf, a fire at a senior living facility claimed the life of an 85-year-old woman due to carbon monoxide poisoning. This makes her the second fatality from the blaze, as revealed by authorities on Thursday. Reports suggest that emergency services were able to save the woman from an elevator on Monday, merely to lose consciousness. She unfortunately passed away in the hospital on Wednesday.

The first fatality was an 84-year-old resident who lost her life in the fire on Monday. The inferno erupted inside the woman's room on the ground floor of a housing block, according to the police's statement on Tuesday. The entire building was evacuated soon after. As a consequence, 11 people, including both residents and caregivers, were transported to hospitals by ambulance. Two dozen more individuals, who experienced less severe injuries, were treated by paramedics on the spot.

As of now, no evidence of intentional arson has been uncovered, and accidental arson appears to be the most likely cause, despite the possibility of a technical glitch cannot be completely dismissed. So far, the initial police evaluations put the damage caused by the fire at approximately half a million dollars.
