A 13th person has died in one of New York City's deadliest fires in decades.
Police say 27-year-old Holt Francis died at a hospital on Thursday after being critically injured in the Dec. 28 Bronx apartment building fire caused by a 3-year-old boy playing with stove burners.
Francis' wife, their two daughters and a niece were also killed in the fire.
The total death toll includes eight adults and five children. Among them was 28-year-old Emmanuel Mensah, who rescued a number of people that night, then went back into the burning building where he died of smoke inhalation.
Fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro says the fire started on a stove and raced through a door and up five floors.
