A fire at a nursing home in Sri Lanka kills 13 people, according to multiple reports. The nursing home is described as unregistered, and it is run by a management that also operates at least two other nursing facilities. Reports say government officials and institutions have previously interacted with or worked with these facilities. A staff member and other accounts describe one victim as a “chained” patient, stating that the patient had been restrained at the home before the fire. Investigators and authorities say the director of the home has been arrested on suspicion of causing deaths through negligence. The reports align on the core details of the incident: the death toll of 13, the fire at the nursing home, the description of at least one patient being chained, and ongoing scrutiny of the facility’s status and management practices. The circumstances surrounding how the fire started, why patients were restrained, and what safety and regulatory failures may have contributed are the subject of the investigations referenced by the outlets.
