Waitress linked to Swiss bar fire dies in New Year’s blaze
Cyane Panine, the waitress photographed wearing a crash helmet and carrying sparklers that allegedly sparked the fatal New Year’s Eve fire at Le Constellation in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, died in the blaze that killed about 40 people and injured 116. The bar’s owners face charges including manslaughter and negligence; investigators note the pyrotechnics lit the ceiling and that a service door was locked, part of the probe into how the tragedy unfolded.
