A 79-year-old woman died from injuries she suffered in a house fire that also killed her 81-year-old husband earlier this week in Burlington County, police said Saturday.
Police were informed Friday night that Daveine Hewlett died after she was injured in the blaze Tuesday at her home in Maple Shade, according to township police. She was being treated at Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia.
Firefighters found the body of her husband, William Hewlett, in the blaze on Bailey Avenue the morning of the fire, police said.
A GoFundMe page was launched to raise money for the Hewlett family earlier this week, police confirmed.
“Just about everyone born and raised in Maple Shade know the Hewlett family,” the fundraising page said. “This is very overwhelming for the family and most all people that know the Hewlett family.”
