The family of 9-year-old girl killed in a Brooklyn house fire is “broken” and trying to deal with their “new norm.”
killed in a Brooklyn house fire is“This is day one after the aftermath of the fire, we’re rolling with the punches, taking the days as they come,” Joseph Thompson, 36, said Saturday outside the charred Brownsville home, which was being walled-off by workers. “Family is shocked by the blow of this tragedy, and we’re finding a way to find the new norm.”
The uncle said Payton died from smoke inhalation. The fire remains under investigation, the FDNY said Saturday. The heartbroken uncle, who is a chef, called Payton an “amazing young child” who loved to sing and dance — and eat. “She loved her Uncle Joe’s ribs, and she loved cornbread,” he recalled. “She was a happy little girl, everybody loved her,” Pipkin said. “From day one she stole everyone’s hearts. Payton is the angel of Howard Avenue. It’s a hard pill to swallow, it’s so sad.”Payton was described as a “happy little girl.”The stunned neighbor said she was watching TV when the fire broke out and then she heard sirens — and witnessed first responders feverishly trying to save the girl’s life.
