Antioch-area woman dies from injuries after house fire

An Antioch-area woman has died from injuries she sustained last week in a house fire, the Lake County Coroner’s Office said.

Kristi Roberts, 62, died Monday at the Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville.

She was brought to the hospital in critical condition following the Nov. 5 fire at her home in the 26500 block of West Wilmot Road.

Firefighters responded at about 6:55 a.m. to the residence after receiving word of a small fire in a home oxygen system. Family members had extinguished the fire and reported that Roberts was unresponsive.

After receiving CPR from family and then firefighters, Roberts regained a pulse and was brought to the hospital in critical condition.

The coroner’s office said her death was consistent with burns she sustained in the fire. The fire remains under investigation by authorities.
