There is a renewed call for the authorities to establish a specialized burn unit in Jamaica.
The call is being made by a St. Catherine family after the death of siblings, following a house fire on April 8.
25-year-old Coney Daley who sustained burns to approximately 85 per cent of his body died in hospital on Friday.
His sister 14-year-old Gabriella Wright perished in the fire at her home in St. John’s Gardens, Spanish Town, the day of the fire.
The family had been seeking financial assistance from the public to take Daley overseas for treatment; however, the family did not reach the intended amount before he died.
Speaking with reporters, his aunt said that while the Spanish Town Hospital did all they could, he likely could have been saved if a burn unit existed in the country.
The family of 15 is seeking financial assistance, as they are still without a home and have to bury two siblings.
