The teenager pulled from the second floor of a burning home in Boston's Hyde Park neighborhood last week has died, officials say.
The Suffolk District Attorney's Office confirmed Tuesday that Mario Evans has passed away. He had been hospitalized in critical condition after being rescued from the early-morning blaze on Oct. 29.
The fire was reported around 4 a.m. on Hyde Park Avenue. When firefighters arrived, smoke was already showing, and firefighters went in and removed the teen from the second floor.
No firefighters were injured.
