According to reports in the British media, Natalie Crichlow, 40, died on August 6 after suffering 75 per cent burns to her body when an intruder broke into her home on July 28.<\/p>\n

Crichlow, a mother of three who was born in the town of Bedfordshire, about 30 miles northwest of London, was in Barbados caring for her disabled brother following the deaths of her mother and uncle.<\/p>
