The site of the deadly fire at an unregistered nursing home for people with mental illnesses in Western Sri Lanka lay abandoned Friday as the death toll rose from 12 to 13 after an one of the injured succumbed to injuries at the hospital, an official said.
Glasses cases, medicines and reclining chairs lay strewn around the burned-out shell of the home in Anguruwatota, a small town about 55 kilometers (34 miles) southeast of the capital, Colombo.
