Düsseldorf witnessed a kiosk blast. - My sibling perished in the blaze.
"Once upon a time, my mom woke up Ada in the dead of the night. She saw the fire before anything else and partially opened the door, shouting, 'You can't go through there!'."
However, Ada couldn't be stopped. Being young and athletic, he likely thought he could make it through the stairwell and rescue his mom.
Ada Breathed In Toxic Smoke
Unfortunately, Ada was unaware that the fire department had been notified for a long time. Moments later, they used a turntable ladder to extract Asya's mother from the balcony. Yet, Ada had no chance of surviving. He inhaled the toxic smoke within the stairwell, lost consciousness, and breathed his last. A wall of fire had blocked his route on the second floor.
Asya shared, "My brother was an angel and my best friend. He had a heart of love, and everyone he met received it with affection. And he always sported a smile."
GoFundMe Appeal for Money to Cover Funeral Costs
Now, friends of the family have created an online fundraiser (gofundme.com) to gather funds for the boy's funeral. "I'm not seeking monetary assistance," says Asya with tears in her eyes. "I'm not searching for any recompense, but I feel the public should know there's more to my brother than just an 18-year-old who perished in the inferno."
Fashion Designer Dream
Ada had dreams of becoming a fashion designer, according to Asya. She added, "He was exceptionally talented." As she talks about him, she enjoys the warm memory of all the shared experiences they had. "I'll always cherish the fact that we were together. I hope that wherever he is now, his dreams will come to pass, and he'll never forget his infectious grin."
Suspicions have risen that someone had spilled gasoline on the first floor of the store, creating an explosive combination of gas and oxygen. So, arson is believed to have led to the fire.
In Düsseldorf, residents are grieving over fire victims. They're laying flowers and lighting candles.
Amidst the sea of blooms is a yellow LA Lakers basketball jersey that Ada's friends have put at the scene of the accident. "Ada was a huge fan of basketball," his sister notes, before bidding him farewell. "I'm still anticipating Ada to walk in the door while carrying his basketball."
