St. Tammany Parish brush fire victim identified

An 84-year-old woman who died after being pulled from a fire in Folsom on Sunday has been identified as Ilona M. Bedo, the St. Tammany Parish Coroner's Office said.

Authorities on Sunday said the woman was unconscious when she was rescued from a brush fire, but died later of her injuries. Folsom area firefighters discovered the woman while working to put out a fire along Louisiana 25.

The Coroner's Office said in a news release Wednesday that Bedo had been transported to the University Medical Center trauma unit in New Orleans, where she died.

The cause and mode of Bedo's death haven't been fully determined, the Coroner's Office said. An autopsy has been done, but the results were not yet available, the Coroner's Office said.

The Louisiana State Fire Marshal’s Office is leading the investigation into the fatal fire.
