NEW YORK (AP) – A devastating Bronx fire claimed its 10th victim when a 7-year-old girl died after a two-day battle for her life, a family spokesman said Saturday.

Asimi Soumare became the fourth child in her family to die in the blaze that also killed her mother, said a family spokesman, Sheikh Moussa Drammeh. Mamadou Soumare, a taxi driver who received a frantic call from his doomed wife Fatoumata on the night of the fire, has now lost his spouse and all of their children.

Word of the Friday night fatality at Lincoln Hospital came just two days before Monday’s funeral of the other nine victims of the blaze – three of Asimi’s siblings, her mother and five cousins. The other five children belonged to the Magassa family, who shared the three-story brick home with the Soumares.

The girl’s death was attributed to complications due to smoke inhalation, said Ellen Borakove, spokeswoman for the city medical examiner. The blaze was New York City’s deadliest since 1990’s Happy Land fire, which killed 87 people in the Bronx.

One of Moussa Magassa’s surviving children told the New York Post that he escaped the fire by jumping out a window, but he was unable to rescue the others trapped inside the home.

“I wanted to help them, but there was too much smoke. I didn’t know if they were out already,” said Madimakan, who suffered minor injuries.

His father, who flew home Friday from a business trip in his native Mali, returned to tragedy, but also to emotional and financial support from a closely knit community of Malian immigrants. Many turned out for a prayer service Friday and collected more than $21,000 to help the families, said Cheick Sidi Diarra, Mali’s ambassador to the United Nations.

A taxi driver group was also collecting donations, and New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner volunteered to cover the cost of the funerals. The blaze occurred just blocks from Yankee Stadium.

Mayor Bloomberg said the city had also offered financial and other assistance to the families. Magassa and Mamadou Soumare met with Mr. Bloomberg and Abdoulaye Diop, Mali’s ambassador to the United States, for the prayer service Friday.

Like many immigrants, Magassa and Soumare “came to the United States to pursue the great American dream,” Mr. Bloomberg said after their meeting. “And (they) now find themselves sharing a great American tragedy with us.”

A funeral for nine of the victims was set for Monday in the Bronx. Five victims will be buried in New Jersey on Monday, and the other four will be flown to Mali for burial.

Three members of the families remained in hospitals Saturday with injuries from the blaze. A 6-year-old girl remained in critical condition Saturday at Jacobi Medical Center.

A 5-year-old girl and a 24-year-old woman were listed in stable condition at Lincoln Hospital.
