Man Accused of Setting Family on Fire Dies from His Injuries

35-year-old Francisco Godoy, accused of killing his estranged partner and their two children in a horrific fire in San Felipe Village, has died.

Godoy passed away around 5:45 a.m. today, while receiving treatment at the K.H.M.H. for severe burns covering 90 percent of his body.

In the early hours of Monday morning, Godoy allegedly broke into the home of Angelita Magaña and set her and her children, six-year-old Tishan and 17-year-old Shadia, on fire after dousing them with gasoline. Magaña and Tishan died in the blaze. Shadia, according to reports, died while receiving treatment at the Northern Regional Hospital.

Godoy had been hospitalised under police guard as authorities prepared to charge him. His death brings an end to the criminal case, though investigators continue to examine
