Fourth victim identified in fatal West Oakland fire
OAKLAND (KTVU) -- The identity of the fourth person who died in an Oakland building fire last month has been released after investigators tracked down his father in Nigeria.
The Alameda County coroner's office says Olatunde Adejumobi, 36, died in the fire.
A burning candle started the blaze in the three-story building for recovering addicts and people who had been homeless.
Adejumobi, who died from smoke inhalation, was identified by a fingerprint. The three other victims had already been identified and named by the coroner's office. Those victims included: Edwarn Anderson, 64; Cassandra Robertson, 50; and Ashantikee Wilson, 41.
