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

459 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?

Infections, organ failure, cardiac failure, etc, etc. Burns cause traumatic injury to large areas of the body. It can often take enormous amounts of energy to heal. Bodies just can’t keep up.
