In a tragic incident, a 70-year-old woman died from burn injuries late Monday after her house was engulfed in a major fire in Chinchinim.
Cuncolim PI Diogo Gracias said the deceased, who was bedridden, could not be rescued, while her brother escaped with burn injuries.
The brother-sister duo was staying in a rented room. The Cuncolim Fire Brigade rushed to the scene, but the damage had already been done.
Police have shifted the body to the South Goa District Hospital mortuary.
