HONOLULU (AP) — A fifth person has died from injuries suffered during a massive explosion of illegal fireworks at a Honolulu home over New Year’s, police said Tuesday.
The 29-year-old man was one of six patients flown to a hospital in Arizona for treatment earlier this month because Hawaii’s only burn care facility hit capacity with other patients from the same blast.
The explosion also killed a 3-year-old boy, three women and injured more than 20 people.
