An 86-year-old woman who was in critical condition following a June 22 house fire in Goodyear Heights has died, according to the Summit County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The Akron Fire Department responded Monday to a residential fire in the 1200 block of Chippewa Avenue around 9:50 a.m. where smoke was reported in the area. Initially, smoke showed from a single-story residential structure and the fire was extinguished, a release from the fire department said.
The victim who lived there was identified as June Denisiak. She was transported to Summa Health Akron where she later died from soot and smoke inhalation. Two dogs were also rescued from the fire.
The fire investigation unit and the State Fire Marshall are still investigating the cause.
