RIP PIEDAD MUÑOZ (August 12, 1957 – August 8, 2021)

The ME/C’s database cannot handle the Spanish letter eñe. It’s likely the decedent’s surname is in fact Muñoz and not Munoz.

Bell Gardens police, along with county firefighters, responded at 3:56 a.m. Sunday to a report of a structure fire in the 5700 block of Live Oak Street. Upon arriving, they discovered a woman unresponsive inside. The victim was removed from the burning home and later pronounced dead at the scene.
