Already burdened with health challenges, Gasparillo siblings Ramnath and Sookeah Bheem met a tragic end yesterday morning after a devastating fire consumed their home along Bonne Aventure Road.
Ramnath, 64, a stroke survivor who had mobility difficulties, and Sookeah, 79, who relied on a wheelchair and crutches following multiple leg surgeries, were unable to escape the blaze that started around 4 am.
Firefighters extinguished the fire and later discovered Ramnath’s remains near the living room, close to the front door. Officials believe his body fell through the burnt-out floor of his bedroom above. Meanwhile, Sookeah’s remains were found in her bedroom at the back of the house. A Mercedes-Benz truck parked in the yard was also damaged.
