NEW YORK -- An 8-year-old-boy ran back into his burning apartment to save his little brother but died along with him in the thick smoke and flames, according to neighbors and relatives.
Tyanthony Duckette and his sister were carried out of Thursday morning's blaze at the Queens duplex by his grandmother Carlota Wilson. But when she was unable to find 17-month-old Daniel Wilson, Tyanthony ran back to save him.
Shortly afterward, the two children were pulled out of the house by firefighters. They couldn't be revived at a hospital.
