DA: Mistake Made In Reporting Fall River Fatality

The Bristol County District Attorney's Office says it made a mistake in reporting a tenth death related to a fire at the Gabriel House Assisted Living facility in Fall River.

The fire broke out last Sunday, killing nine and left more than two-dozen others injured.

The DA's office on Friday says a miscommunication with a medical agency led to an inaccurate statement being issued about a tenth victim who had died.

That victim, 66-year-old Brenda Cropper, remains hospitalized in critical condition.
