A child who was injured in a fire in East Boston earlier this month has died, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office said Tuesday.
The incident occured on April 2 at a multi-family building on Meridian Street.
The fire also killed another person, the Boston Fire Department said. Their name wasn’t immediately released.
Four other people were rescued from the building, and one firefighter suffered minor injuries battling the flames. About 30 people were displaced.
The close proximity of the houses caused the flames to spread to the house next door and the building in the back, officials said.
Boston Fire Commissioner Paul Burke said the damage from the fire is estimated at $5 million for all three buildings.
The fire remains under investigation.

Who was Ana Walshe?
Her name has become a recognizable one for many following her disappearance and presumed death, allegedly at the hands of her husband, Brian Walshe, early last year.
But who was Ana the person — not the tragic news story?
That’s what we’re diving into with the latest episode of “The Searches for Ana Walshe” podcast. This episode will conclude our first season.
You’ll hear from some of those who knew Ana best. They describe her as a hardworking corporate leader, loving mom and radiant person — “a bright light,” as her friend Pamela Bardhi put it.
The podcast episode goes through Ana’s rise in the corporate world, taking her from a housekeeper at a rural Virginia hotel to a high-powered real estate professional. Plus, you’ll hear about the troubling signs that something could have been wrong in the Walshe marriage, long before Brian allegedly killed Ana.
We’re now four episodes into our podcast on the Ana Walshe case. Listen here ⬇️ @ColtonBradford @NBC10Boston https://t.co/wxQDn9v0YL pic.twitter.com/cmTueT1AhP

Just selection starts Tuesday in the highly anticipated Karen Read murder trial, and experts say it won’t be easy.
Read is accused of killing her boyfriend John O’Keefe, a former Boston police officer, in January of 2022.
Prosecutors say she hit him with her SUV and left him in a blizzard, but her attorneys say she’s being framed as part of a massive coverup.
The defense claims O’Keefe was attacked inside the home. They plan to argue that someone else was responsible for his death under what’s called a third-party culprit defense.
Prosecutors say they haven’t received any information from Read’s legal team.
Judge Beverly Cannone considered dozens of motions filed by both sides on Friday. Experts say as many as many as 150 potential jurors could be brought to the Dedham courthouse each day. Legal analysts say selecting an unbiased jury won’t be easy.
“What the court has in front of them in selecting an unbiased jury is going to be extraordinarily difficult,” said legal analyst Michael Coyne.
“From my perspective, they both have fairly legitimate arguments, so it’s going to be a very interesting trial to see what actual evidence is submitted on each of their behalf,” said attorney Katherine Loftus.
The judge did approve a motion that allows the prosecution to do background checks once the jury is selected.
