Three people died after a fire broke out Sunday night in a house in Louisville’s Crescent Hill neighborhood.
Louisville Fire was dispatched to a fire in the 200 block of Kennedy Court, between Frankfort Avenue and Grinstead Drive, at 7:13 p.m. Firefighters responded on scene within three minutes.
Lt. Col. Jason Golladay with Louisville Fire said Monday that three adults were hospitalized, two of whom died. A third victim, who was in critical condition, died Monday evening.
“The initial crew made entry right off the bat and removed the first victim within 2 minutes of arriving on the scene, immediately did life saving measures, CPR, additional units arrived and continued the search and fire attack removing two more victims,” Golladay said.
The family told WDRB News that their mother, 83-year-old Linda Wood, died along with her son, Bill Leonard. He was a Gulf War veteran they said died on Memorial Day.
The family showed WDRB News a picture of Leonard with his wife Rebecca, who had terminal cancer. The three lived together. They said she was on life-support after the fire. Louisville Fire confirmed Rebecca later died. Golladay said the couple was in their 50s.
Cheryl Cooper and Susan Langford said they’ve been friends with Wood for at least a decade.
