Fatal Palm Bay house fire death of Mitchell Henry – Obituary

Mitchell Henry, the man suspected of intentionally setting a deadly house fire in Palm Bay, Florida, has died from injuries sustained in the March 3 incident. Authorities had been investigating the fire as a homicide after Henry’s sister, 67-year-old Louella Mitchell, died from severe burns caused by the blaze.

The fire broke out late at night at a home on Balue Lane SE, where both siblings lived. Emergency crews arrived to find the house engulfed in flames, and both Henry and his sister were hospitalized with life-threatening injuries. Two other individuals who were inside the home were treated for smoke inhalation and survived.

Investigators believe the fire was deliberately set by Henry, who had recently been served an eviction notice by his sister. His death was confirmed Thursday, nearly two months after the incident.
