why do some burn victims die months after being exposed to the fire?

479 views

I was reading about some burn victims from summer fires in Greece, and some succumbed to their burns more than 3 months after they were originally exposed to the flames. Shouldn’t they be in the clear at that point given burn wounds heal over time?

My dad was was severely burned (3rd degree, 87% of body) and lived 7 wks before organs started failing.

It was a long shot, but the Dr’s thought it within reason to pursue treatment. He started off responding well to treatment, but I think he was just too old to make it through. He was 58.
