Envy Apartment

A teenager was unable to save her 5-year-old sister from their burning apartment Tuesday night when roaring flames turned the apartment into an inferno, making it impossible to get to the second-floor where the child was watching television, officials said. East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner Dr . "Beau" Clark identified the girl as Treasure Garner, although her family says her last name is Hadley.

Logan Vanderkleed ’s family said Logan felt the love as he took his last breath on Wednesday. Logan Vanderkleed loved to say his prayers. “Amen,” he said in a home video taken back in April. He learned how to pray from his parents, but sometimes it felt like he was the teacher. “It’s crazy coming from a 2-year-old,” Logan’s mother, Lisa Vanderkleed, said. “He was always encouraging us to pray in the morning if we forgot in the rush of the morning.” The Vanderkleeds turned to prayer, and so did thousands of others after Logan accidentally rolled up the car window on his neck on Aug. 17, leaving his brain without oxygen for too long.
