Grandmother, toddler killed in St Elizabeth fire
ST ELIZABETH, Jamaica — A 73-year-old woman and her two-year-old granddaughter died when their home was destroyed by fire at Leeds, three miles south of Santa Cruz, Friday afternoon, police say.
The victims have been identified as Pearle Heath and her granddaughter Shanquanna Ennis.
The tragedy occurred at about 3:00pm, police say. There is uncertainty as to how the fire started but the police do not suspect foul play.
There is speculation that Heath may have gone to sleep, leaving a cooking fire going.
RIP
RIP to them both and guidance and strength to their family. Amen.
I’m willing to wager that there was no working smoke detector inside the home. Can’t understand why so many homes in Jamaica do not have a working smoke detector.

RIP to you both, this was a beautiful little girl. May the Lord guide, strength, comfort and protect their love ones and family especially the parents.
May their family find the strength needed.
RIP TO THEM BOTH.
