SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — An overburdened power cable caused a deadly fire last week in a retirement facility in Bosnia, authorities said on Friday as doctors announced that the death toll had risen to 15.

The power cable from a radio used by one of the residents of the facility was squeezed between that person’s bed and the wall, which led to a short circuit and the fire on the evening of Nov. 4, an investigation found.

The blaze that broke out on the seventh floor of a retirees’ boarding house in the northeastern town of Tuzla killed eleven people that day and injured 30. Four more people have died in the Tuzla hospital since, including two last week and two more in the last 24 hours, doctors said on Friday.
