HUNAN - A 12-year-old Chinese girl died from severe burns after using her body and a blanket to shield her younger brother from a fire that broke out at their home.
When their father, who was sleeping in another room, realised the house was in flames, he rushed to their room and found the young siblings already unconscious. The girl suffered burns on 55 per cent of her total body surface area and her brother had burns on 28 per cent of his body surface area. "If she had stayed under her own blanket, she would have been in a less serious condition than her brother," Mr Chen Hao, the children's father, told the media.
