1 More Dead After Lake Drive House Fire

One of the people injured in has now died, San Bruno Patch has learned.

The Fire Department said a woman in her 50s or 60s was taken to a local hospital in critical condition after the two-alarm blaze ripped through the family's two-story home.

As of Monday, her identity still hadn't been released. But an acquaintance who is familiar with the family said the woman has been identified as Lila Prasad, 62, one of the owners of the house.

That now makes two people who were killed by the fire. A 2-year-old boy, Aakash Prasad, Lila Prasad's grandson, was the other fatality.

Funeral services for both family members have been scheduled for Friday at 10 a.m. at Chapel of the Highlands, 194 Millwood Drive, in Millbrae, according to the mortuary's website. Following the funeral, the burials will take place at Olivet Memorial Park, 1601 Memorial Blvd., in Colma.

Visitation will be from 4-8 p.m. on Thursday at the mortuary.

A 69-year-old man, who has been identified as Gomta Prasad, the boy's grandfather, was also burned in the fire and was taken to a nearby hospital by ambulance. His status is not clear at this time.

Authorities believe the fire may have started in some sort of shrine that had been set up in a hallway closet. According to the San Mateo Daily Journal, the damage was confined to the rear of the house, which is on a cul-de-sac. The blaze has left at least $100,000 in damage to the home.

Firefighters were able to extinguish to blaze within 15 minutes.

A number of relatives were in the home, and at least five escaped uninjured.
