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?

I would assume infections as others have said. But, I would also assume damage to the lungs. Not only that but, someone correct me if I am wrong. Your body trying to heal itself, while also fighting off infections could over work your heart, kidneys, and liver. Among the other organs and, your body starts to shut down.
I know some guys who were PJ’s ( Pararescue) and some MEdics that referred to the golden hour. It’s something about the time from when you receive the injury to when you receive medical attention for survivability.
Though, you could consult a Doctor. Because, all of this is just pure assumptions on my part.
