MOSES LAKE - The Moses Lake man injured in a house fire last Wednesday died.
Raymond Rallo, 55, died Friday at Deaconess Medical Center in Spokane, according to Grant County Sheriff Tom Jones.
Rallo was airlifted to Spokane last week from Samaritan Hospital in Moses Lake, where he was transported after Grant County District 5 firefighters rescued him from a burning home on Airway Drive Northeast early Wednesday morning.
A passerby called 9-1-1 at about 5:15 a.m. after noticing the fire inside a single-story manufactured home in the Harvest Manor Mobile Home Park.
Firefighters responded, entering the residence where they found an unresponsive Rallo.
An autopsy revealed he died from smoke inhalation, Jones stated.
Kyle Foreman with Grant County Emergency Management said the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
