Three members of a Gujarat family died after a fire broke out at an Ohio motel where they lived and worked. Trapped inside their room, they reportedly sought help before taking shelter in a bathroom, but died of suspected suffocation. Authorities are investigating the cause of the blaze, which also injured one firefighter.
Three members of a family from Gujarat's Kheda district were killed after a fire engulfed a motel in Wooster, Ohio, where they had been living and working, according to information shared with their relatives.
The victims were identified as Hiteshbhai Suthar, his wife, Hinaben, and their 20-year-old daughter, Ishani. The family, originally from Nadiad, had moved to the United States around two years ago and had been residing at the Econo Lodge motel, where Hiteshbhai was employed.
Family trapped in blaze
The fire broke out at around 1.30 am local time. Officials said firefighters arrived to find heavy smoke and flames shooting through the motel's roof. Trapped inside their room, the family reportedly contacted the motel's front desk for help and were advised to stay inside the bathroom with the water running until rescue teams arrived.
