Woman's remains burned in house fire at wake

A family holding a wake for a relative at their home in Cordova, Cebu was hit twice by tragedy after a fire hit their house and also burned the remains of the deceased, according to a report on "Saksi" Thursday.

One of the family members noticed the fire and attempted to put it out but failed.

A family member, a person with disability (PWD), was rescued.

However, they were not able to put out the fire.

An unattended lit mosquito coil is being investigated as one of the possible causes of the fire. — BAP, GMA Integrated News
