Grieving parents found the body of their 14-year-old adopted son hugging his dead dog after the Maui wildfires — then carried him around half a mile to a police station to be confirmed among the dead.
Schoolboy Keyiro Fuentes had been home alone enjoying his last day of summer break when the deadliest US wildfires in a century started overwhelming his neighborhood in Lahaina, his mother, Luz Vargas, told CBS News.
The mom was working five miles away at the time — and unable to get home when she saw the smoke, despite begging cops to let her through their barriers.
When she and the rest of her family managed to search their home two days later, they found Keyiro’s charred body wrapped around his dead dog, the sobbing mom told CBS.
“He was not as I expected, in ashes,” she said of the body thought to have been preserved by the extreme heat.
“God maintained him like this. So, we knew it was him,” she said of her adopted son.

That is the stuff nightmares are made of.
Those poor, poor parents and that poor kids who burned to death.
What horrific pain.

The “authorities” were awful in this catastrophe. Worse than that. They were complicit.

You mean Herculaneum, at least Pompeii had some warning.They were both affected, multiple heat-preserved corpses of people and animals have been excavated. Been to both. So sad.
Many of the ones who did escape Vesuvius' wrath by plunging out into the water, like in Lahaina, also died from inhalation, exhaustion or drowning.

I’ll leave it at that.

That’s a fact. And likely Democrats, one and all.
