Mother and daughter die days apart after Framingham apartment fire

The daughter of a woman who was killed in a fire at a Framingham apartment complex on Nov. 30 has also died.

Nathalya Samaniego, 23, of Framingham, died after she was pulled from the burning apartment complex at 33 Interfaith Terrace, according to a Dec. 8 statement from the Department of Fire Services.

Samaniego died days after her mother, Leyla Mendieta, 49, died on Dec. 3 of her injures.

“Our hearts go out to the family that lost two loved ones and their home,” Framingham Fire Chief Michael Dutcher said.

“This is a terrible loss for them and our community.”

Both women were trapped on the second floor of the eight-unit apartment building the night of Nov. 30, according to the department. Firefighters found them unresponsive and brought both from the building.
