This is so fucking sad. Those poor people. I heard a story about an old retired truck driver who took his hearing aids out at night to sleep and died in the Altadena fire. I heard he was a sweet and humorous man and was very loved by friends and family. One can hope the smoke got to him first.

The Los Angeles Times reported the story of Anthony Mitchell Sr. of Altadena. He was an amputee and his son Justin had cerebral palsy. They died while huddled together, trying to shield themselves from the Eaton wildfire.
Jesus. I can't begin to imagine their thoughts in their final moments.
