A third victim from a Streamwood house fire in recent days died from their injuries, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
The victim was identified as Jacolyn Wians, 63, of the 1200 block of North Green Street in Streamwood, officials said.
Earlier Tuesday, authorities identified Dale Wians, 74, and Brandon Wians, 29, as the residents who died in the fire, according to a news release from Streamwood Public Safety.
Firefighters responded to the house on North Green Meadows Boulevard about 1:15 a.m. Tuesday after receiving a report of “people trapped” inside a burning home, Streamwood Fire Chief Mike Meyer said. When the first engine arrived, firefighters encountered heavy smoke inside the two-story house.
A large fire was extinguished in the basement, and three people were found in the home. Paramedics performed lifesaving measures on all three but two died from their injuries, Meyer said. The surviving occupant was taken in critical condition to St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates, according to the Fire Department.
A hospital spokeswoman declined to comment on the surviving occupant’s condition Tuesday afternoon, but she died from her injuries, officials reported Thursday.
