A 4-year-old boy dies, two days after the deadly fire that claimed the lives of two other young children in Chester, Delaware County.
The boy, Moses McKnight, died after spending two days in critical condition at the burn center of Crozer Chester Medical Center.
The fire started around 6:30 a.m. Wednesday on East 15th Street. Two cousins, 9-year-old Amajhay Ferguson and 6-year-old Bella McKnight died in the fire.
A total of eight people were inside the house, including two adults, three boys and three girls. Neighbors say the father tried to save the children but the heavy, black smoke prevented him from going back inside the home.
A friend of the family says they were all at the home because the father had been recuperating from injuries he suffered during a car accident the day before.
Fire investigators say there were working smoke detectors inside the home. They are still investigating what caused the deadly fire.
