FAYETTEVILLE -- A second person caught in apartment fire last month has died.
Fire Marshal Jeremy Ashley said Michael Phillips Jr., 24, died last week in a Little Rock hospital. Firefighters pulled him and two other people from an apartment at 601 W. Center St.
Hannah Shuster, 21, died at the scene while Philips and another man were taken to Washington Regional Medical Center for treatment. Phillips was later taken to a hospital in Little Rock. Ashley said he did not know which hospital Phillips was taken to.
Ashley said the other man, who he didn't identify, is still hospitalized.
The fire was reported at 3:16 a.m. Nov. 21.
Ashley said the Fire Department is waiting on test results from the state Crime Lab and has not determined the cause of death for either Phillips or Shuster.
Most of the fire damage was concentrated in two units on the second floor, but the entire structure was deemed unlivable, Ashley said. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
