«Breaking News» Elderly couple, 85 and 89, killed when their luxury Manhattan apartment bursts into flames

An elderly couple died after a fire erupted on their floor at a New York City luxury co-op building early Saturday morning.  

Authorities said the fire started at about 5am Saturday on the ninth floor at the River House, an East Side co-op famous for having housed celebs including Uma Thurman and Henry Kissinger and allegedly rejecting Diane Keaton, Richard Nixon and Joan Crawford among others.

An elderly couple was killed when a fire broke out at their ninth-floor apartment in Manhattan's River House, a luxury co-op building, at about 5am, according to authorities 

Police said an 85-year-old woman was found unresponsive with severe burns and was declared dead at the scene, while her 89-year-old husband was rushed to the hospital where he was later died from his injuries, according to NBC New York. 

Neither victim has been named yet. 

The fire was said to have filled the couple's dozen or so rooms with smoke, but been contained within the apartment's walls. 

'You have a fire on the upper floor and a building off the river, and the windows are already out, so you have plenty of wind and air adding fuel to the fire,' FDNY Deputy Chief James Coyne said while describing the blaze, according to ABC 7. 

The fire appeared to be contained within the elderly couple's apartment which had between 10 to 12 rooms in it, all of which were said to have been filled with smoke

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
