Seventeen people in the Bronx died Sunday in one of the worst New York City fires in decades after a malfunctioning space heater ignited and smoke smothered the building, authorities said.
All 17, including eight children, died from smoke inhalation, according to the city's medical examiner.
The New York Police Department on Tuesday released the names of the 17 victims, including multiple members of the same families.
"This is a global tragedy," Mayor Eric Adams said Monday at a news conference. "Everyone is feeling the pain of what we are experiencing."
