A Massachusetts assisted-living facility where a fire killed 10 people​ earlier this month temporarily lost its certification nearly a decade ago due to resident mistreatment.

The Massachusetts State Fire Marshal revealed the possible causes of the fire that killed 10 people at an assisted living facility in Fall River.

Etzkorn said that the Garbiel House is working on returning possessions to displaced residents and determining a method to prevent a similar tragedy from occurring in the future.

New details are emerging about the assisted living facility fire in Massachusetts, which has now claimed the life of a 10th victim.

Based on a March 2016 incident involving a certified nurse’s aid who was later fired, state regulators concluded that Gabriel House failed to treat residents with “consideration, respect, personal dignity and privacy.
