The staff helped the resident out on the balcony to smoke a cigarette. Shortly thereafter they felt the smell of fire smoke and the staff started extinguishing work on the caregiver, who caught fire. Shortly after the resident was taken to hospital, the hospital announced that she had died from her injuries, Kungsbacka Municipality writes in a press release.

According to Lex Sarah, the municipality is now reporting the care and care accommodation to the Inspection for Care and Care, IVO, because the event is considered to be a serious misconduct.
