Two funeral homes, and St. Mary's Cathedral, are assisting the families of loved ones killed in the Gabriel House fire.

There’s no doubt in my mind that that fire was destined to kill 50-plus people,” Fall River Fire Chief Jeffrey Bacon said Wednesday.

The Bristol County District Attorney’s Office said it erroneously reported 66-year-old Brenda Cropper dead due to a “miscommunication.” The post Fall River fire victim reported dead Thursday is still alive,

Gabriel House residents described a chaotic scene Sunday night before they were rescued from the blaze that left nine dead and dozens more injured.

According to Fire Chief Jeffrey Bacon, the blaze started in a room on the second floor on the east side of the Gabriel House building, but details about the exact origin and cause are under investigation.
