A woman has died after being found on fire in a street in London. Emergency services were seen racing to the scene just after 1:00 am after reports of a burning woman on Lee Avenue in Chadwell Heath near Romford.
They managed to extinguish the fire but the woman, understood to be in her 30s but conflicting reports suggest she could be a teenager, was pronounced dead at the scene. A spokeswoman for the London fire brigade said the woman had suffered burns to every part of her body.
Fire crews arrived at the house first and called in police when they found the woman.
A Spokesperson for Scotland Yard said:
“A woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Police are working to inform next of kin.
The death is currently being treated as unexplained. Enquiries into the cause of the fire are ongoing and officers remain at the scene.”
A Spokesperson for the London Fire Brigade said:
“Two fire engines and around ten firefighters were called to reports of a person alight in the rear garden of a house on Lee Avenue in Chadwell Heath yesterday evening. Sadly a woman was confirmed dead at the scene.
The Brigade was called at 23:52 on Thursday evening and the incident was over for firefighters at 00:28. Crews from Dagenham fire station attended the scene.
The cause of the fire is under investigation by the Metropolitan Police and the Brigade’s fire investigation team.”
Many parts of London, led by embattled Mayor Sadiq Khan, are now regarded as no go zones with Acid Attacks, Murders, Stabbings and now in this case people being set alight.
