A hero son has tragically died after bravely trying to save his dad from a house fire. Investigators revealed that the blaze was caused by an e-bike that was left charging overnight.
The incident occurred earlier this month in Litherland, Merseyside, with firefighters finding two people inside the house upon arrival to the scene. The Liverpool Echo reports that the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS) were called to Daisy Mews at 3am on January 8.
North West Ambulance Service paramedics performed CPR on the occupants. One person found inside the house died at the scene and was named as Rab Shearer. His son, Gary, was reported to be in a "critical" condition before dying two weeks on from the blaze.
