11th Death Reported in Anderson Guest House Fire

Federal laws have kept information about the death of an 11th victim of the Anderson Guest House fire from becoming public until now – although Charles Rodney Smith died last Sunday. His funeral was held last Wednesday. Smith was 42. He got out of the burning building – his family does not know how – but had burns on 60 percent of his body. His stepfather says he had the mental age of eight and had lived at the Anderson Guest House for five years.
