Syracuse, N.Y. Or’Eon Jackson - lying in a Syracuse hospital bed with burns - asked his mother why he was still alive.
His mother, Samone Jackson, said all she could do was cry when her eight-year-old son asked her that question.
Or’Eon was rescued by Syracuse firefighters from a fire in the family’s apartment in the 1200 block of Park Street on March 30. He suffered burns and was in critical condition at Upstate University Hospital, fire officials said after the fire.
