A 17-year-old boy died while his mother was injured in a fire that destroyed their home in Lipa City, Batangas shortly before midnight Wednesday.
Cee Jay Albert Cueto died at the scene while his mother, Jane was brought to a hospital for treatment, according to city fire marshall Senior Inspector Von Nicasio.
Reports said the blaze broke out at around 11:50 p.m. at Cueto’s home in Barangay Bulacnin. It was reportedly caused by a faulty electrical connection.
The blaze destroyed another house owned by relatives of the Cuetos. Firefighters managed to put out the blaze at around 2:30 a.m.
Nicasio said Cee Jay, who was hard of hearing, was last seen on the second floor of the burning house.
Firefighters from the nearby towns of Mataas Na Kahoy, Malvar and San Jose helped put out the fire.
