A 67-year-old amputee, Anthony Mitchell, and his son Justin, who had cerebral palsy, tragically died in the Los Angeles wildfires. Anthony, a wheelchair user, stayed behind to protect his son. “He was not going to leave his son behind, no matter what,” said his daughter, Hajime White. Their bodies were found in Altadena after they failed to escape the flames.
