Wisconsin bride-to-be dies in house fire on her WEDDING DAY after being trapped

A Wisconsin bride-to-be has died after being trapped in a house fire on her wedding day, just hours before she was due to tie the knot.

Paige Ruddy, 19, was sleeping on the second floor of a Reedsburg home on the 200 block of W. 2nd Street when it burst into flames around 4 a.m. Tuesday.

When firefighters arrived, they smashed through a second-story window to get to Ruddy, who died a day later in hospital from a brain hemorrhage caused by smoke inhalation.

Heartbroken, family members remembered the teenager as an “indescribable presence that was always needed in one’s life.”

“She was just a precious person,” her aunt Holly said 13 news. “There was nothing about her not to like.”
