Baby dies in tragic house fire accident

A BEDSIDE lamp that overheated and set fire to curtains was blamed last night for a blaze which killed a three-month-old baby.

Sadbh McCarthy died from smoke inhalation after the early-morning fire at her grandparents home at 146 Rosewood Estate, Ballincollig, Co Cork.

Baby Sadbh, who was christened two weeks ago, was asleep in a moses basket in an upstairs front bedroom of the two-storey house when the alarm was raised just after 5am.
