An eighth person has died months after the crash of a medical transport plane in Philadelphia, city officials said Tuesday. Dominique Goods-Burke, who was in a vehicle hit by debris when the plane crashed in northeast Philadelphia, died on April 27, the city Medical Examiner's Office confirmed, the AP reports. She had been out shopping with her fiance, Steven Dreuitt, who died after their vehicle was engulfed in flames on Jan. 31, and his son, who suffered severe burns, according to news reports. Goods-Burke died at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, a spokesperson for the Medical Examiner's Office said. She was 34.

Colleagues at the cafe where she worked told WTXF-TV that she was a beloved employee who worked as a baking supervisor. "She was an amazing mom, she was an incredible baker, she held this place together," said Meg Hagele, the founder of High Point Cafe. The crash, which took place on a Friday evening near a busy intersection, killed all six people on the Learjet 55 air ambulance, including a girl who was traveling home after receiving medical treatment in Philadelphia. All six people aboard were from Mexico. Officials said that about two dozen people were injured on the ground and more than a dozen homes were damaged or destroyed. The National Transportation Safety Board said the voice recorder on the plane was not working.
