Dental Record to Confirm Identities of El Toro Fire Victims
The Orange County coroner’s office will examine dental records today to determine the positive identification of two people who died in a fire at an El Toro condominium.
The victims, a man and a woman who were house guests of the owners, died in the blaze on Saturday that caused $150,000 in damage to the condominium on the 21000 block of Camino de Paseo and destroyed $50,000 in contents.
Marshall Rich, who lived in the condominium, escaped injury.
His wife, Rosemary Rich, who suffered second- and third-degree burns over 60% of her body and a fractured right knee, remained in serious but stable condition, said a hospital spokeswoman at the burn unit at UCI Medical Center in Orange.
