Another person who was burnt along with five other family members in a house fire on August 30 died at a city hospital early yesterday.

With him, all the six people, who were at the Keraniganj home that day, have passed away.

Mohammad Yeasin (12) breathed his last around 6:45am while being treated at Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn and Plastic Surgery, hospital sources said.

He had 40 percent burns on his body.

Earlier, Yeasin’s brother Shahadat Hossain (20), his grandmother Begum (60), aunt Sonia Akter (26), cousin Mariam (4) and relative Iduni alias Panna Begum (50) died at the hospital at different times.

The fire broke out on the ground floor when Begum lit the gas stove. Fire officials suspected that the fire originated from a leak in the gas line.
