Cricketer, Trevor Bailey has died in a fire at his home in Westcliff-on-Sea.
Bailey who was 87 years old lived in the retirement home with his wife Greta, who was rescued from the fire.
Bob Wahl from the Essex Fire Service said “Crews did a fantastic job getting into the property quickly and searching through the smoke to find the woman. She was in bed with the door shut and so that’s probably what saved her. Firefighters carried her out of the property and she was left in the care of the ambulance service. Her husband had gone to the kitchen, which is where crews found him. Unfortunately there was nothing we could do. We will now have to wait for the fire investigation results to see how the fire started”
