West Virginia woman set on fire last month dies

A West Virginia woman who police say was set on fire by her boyfriend last month has died.

Belinda Cox, 48, succumbed to her injuries on Wednesday night at West Penn Burn Center in Pittsburgh, according to Beckley Police Department.

Authorities say her boyfriend Dwayne Michael Lane, 47, set her on fire at their Earle Street home on September 17 after an argument.

Doctors had given Cox a 17 per cent chance of survival, saying that it would be a 'miracle' if she pulled through after 70 per cent of her body was burned - with 61 per cent being 3rd degree burns.

An eye for an eye, if guilty, he needs to be executed immediately

She was probably a very sweet, loving and forgiving person.
