A family of three from Gujarat died after a fire broke out at an Econo Lodge motel in Wooster, Ohio, where they lived and worked. The victims were identified as Hiteshbhai Suthar, his wife Hinaben, and their 20-year-old daughter, Ishani, who had moved to the US around two years ago. According to relatives and local reports, the family took shelter inside a bathroom after calling the motel's front desk for help. They reportedly followed safety instructions and turned on the water before locking themselves inside. However, they died of suspected suffocation before firefighters could rescue them. Authorities are investigating the cause of the fire. (PC: India Today)
