A fire broke out at a South Korean hospital for the elderly, killing 21 people. Most of the patients were in their 70s and 80s and had difficulty walking, according to an article on the KWCH website.
Police detained a patient suffering from dementia whom they suspect of starting the fire.
Although the fire was put out quickly, many of the victims, unable to move around easily, were believed to have been killed by asphyxiation from toxic fumes that filled the second floor of the two-story building.
