The preventable tragedy at Gabriel House demonstrates the potential suffering posed to vulnerable populations, particularly the elderly, by the savage cuts to social programs in Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” relied upon by millions.
A 10th person has died several days after a fire broke out at an assisted living facility in Fall River. Rip currents are responsible for the majority of surf-zone fatalities every year in the U.S. A former Major League Baseball player died Sunday while trying to save swimmers from a rip tide off the coast of South Carolina, authorities said.
First responders rescued dozens of people from inside an assisted living facility where nine people were killed.
River Fire Department confirmed that there are multiple injuries and fatalities. A family reunification centre has now been set up at the chapel at the St. Anne’s Hospital.
Gabriel House residents described a chaotic scene Sunday night before they were rescued from the blaze that left nine dead and dozens more injured.
We lost nine folks last night in this terrible tragedy and our hearts and our sympathies are with the families,” Gov. Maura Healey said Monday morning.
