Dennis and Meredith Darcy face manslaughter charges following a tragic fire at their Airbnb rental that claimed the lives of teacher Shannon Hubbard and her one-year-old daughter. Investigators revealed the couple had falsely claimed to have smoke detectors in the home. On October 14, flames erupted due to a chimney flue issue, leading to a situation where Hubbard's husband escaped with their three-year-old, but the others were not as fortunate. Legal actions highlight the severe consequences tied to inadequate safety measures and violations of fire codes.
This devastating tragedy could have been prevented. The deaths of Shannon Hubbard and her young daughter in this senseless fire serve as a tragic reminder of the critical role smoke detectors play in safeguarding lives.
Their absence was not only a failure of the necessary safety measures. The Defendants were aware of and deliberately ignored the significant and unjustifiable risk of death that this absence created.
