Lake Macquarie Burns Victim Dies In Hospital

BY IAN CROUCH

 The woman who was found unconscious inside her burning home at Pelican on Sunday has sadly died in Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital.

63-year-old Pamela Wilds suffered critical injuries in the blaze, which tore through the bedroom of her Karog Street home.

Her 18-year-old neighbour, Robert Kidd, who tried to rescue her, remains in a stable condition in the John Hunter Hospital.

The cause of the fire has not yet been determined but police are not treating as suspicious.

A report is being prepared for the Coroner.
