A 13th person has died a week after a fire in the Bronx killed a dozen people.
Francis Holt, 27, died at the hospital Thursday.
Holt, along with his wife Karen Frances, their two children and a 19-year-old relative all died as a result of the fire that has now claimed a total of 13 lives.
The fire happened on Dec. 28 inside a Prospect Avenue apartment building.
The blaze was sparked by a 3-year-old boy who was playing with the burners of an apartment stove, officials say.
