Baby in Raleigh Fire Died of Alcohol Poisoning
An autopsy suggests a baby killed in a Raleigh apartment fire in February died of alcohol poisoning.
Posted — UpdatedInvestigators said Dayna Sofia Elamrani-Carranza and her mother, Rosa Elena Carranza-Morales, 26, died Feb. 22 in an unit at the Pines of Ashton apartment complex on Roselle Court.
Police said Noureddine Elamrani, 30, stabbed Carranza-Morales before setting the apartment on fire. Elamrani later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Firefighters found the three bodies as they moved into the apartment to battle the blaze.
Toxicology reports show a very high concentration of alcohol and no carbon monoxide in Elamrani-Carranza's system. Officials said there were no anatomic findings to explain her death. They believe the death may have occurred before any significant carbon monoxide was inhaled.
Carranza-Morales had taken out a restraining order against Elamrani nine days before the fire, according to court records. She said in her filing that Elamrani beat her and she feared he would kill her.
