Woman dies after being found on fire in south-west London street Scotland Yard confirmed tonight that the 18-year-old woman had a young son, who was being looked after by relatives when she died and remains in their care. Police are seeking three people who rushed to her aid and tried to put out the flames. A spokesman said the death appeared "non-suspicious" but appealed for any witnesses. Layla Hamid, 20, a student who lives opposite the house, told the Daily Mail: "I heard initially what I thought was a fox making a noise or an animal in pain. I heard four separate screams - the first one right outside the house and then more screams in the road and then behind me on the level crossing. Now that I know what it was, I feel chilled to the bone. She must have been in so much pain.
