Four victims of deadly Merseyside house fire named
Merseyside Police and fire crews are investigating the blaze, and early indications suggest it was non-suspicious, officials said.
- On Tuesday, a house fire on Stone Square in Bootle, Merseyside, killed Elisha Brabin, 36, and her three children, Leo, 16, Ellis, 8, and Prudence, 7, after the blaze "spread rapidly" inside their home.
- Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service crews arrived at 3:45 BST to find the semi-detached home "well alight," discovering the four victims in an upstairs bedroom while an injured man was found outside.
- Before fire crews arrived, neighbours attempted to rescue the family, and Loti Nambombe established a fundraising page that raised more than £5,000 by Wednesday to assist with funeral costs.
- Bootle MP Peter Dowd praised emergency responders for their "outstanding work" in challenging circumstances, while Liverpool Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram emphasized the community's strong identity and commitment to help those left behind.
- A joint investigation between Merseyside Police and the fire service is underway to determine the fire's cause, which officials currently indicate was non-suspicious as tributes continue accumulating at the scene.
