Lewis Carl Smith II was found unresponsive in a vehicle late Saturday in the village of Fort Edward, 45 miles north of Albany. Fort Edward police told the Post-Star of Glens Falls that an autopsy showed heart disease caused his death.
A fire ripped through Smith’s Fort Edward home in June 2010, killing six of his seven children, who ranged in age from 1 to 12 years old.
Officials said the fire was sparked by a wrong fuse installed in first-floor outlet. Smith and his girlfriend Samantha Cox, the mother of three of the children, were injured trying to rescue the kids. He and Cox separated after the fire.
