Elderly residents – some in wheelchairs and some dependent on oxygen tanks – were blinded by deadly smoke as they tried to escape an assisted-living facility in Fall River, Massachusetts, which caught fire Sunday evening.

Authorities identified the victim as Brenda Cropper, 66. She had been hospitalized in critical condition since Sunday’s fire, which was the deadliest blaze in Massachusetts since 1984.

Flames roared through an assisted-living facility in Massachusetts, killing nine people and trapping residents inside, including some who leaned out of windows and screamed for help.
