The state is launching a safety initiative to ensure Massachusetts’ more than 250 assisted living facilities are up to code.

One of the victims of the deadly Gabriel House assisted living facility fire that happened in Fall River earlier this month is being remembered by his friends and family.

The tenth victim in the Gabriel House Assisted Living Facility fire died on Friday, the Bristol County District Attorney’s office confirmed. Brenda Cropper, 66, had been hospitalized in critical condition since the blaze Sunday night. The DA’s office said in a statement that “her passing was expected.”
