Coroner Identifies Mother And Son Found Dead In Woolsey Fire

MALIBU, CA – The coroner's office Monday identified the names of the woman and her son whose bodies were found in Malibu the day after the Woolsey Fire broke out.

Anthony Noubar Baklayan, 57, of Oak Park, and his mother, 83-year-old Shoushan Baklayan, of Malibu, died Nov. 9 in the 33100 block of Mulholland Highway, according to the Los Angeles County coroner's office.

The two were found in a charred SUV on a long driveway. Authorities said they suspect they became disoriented amid the flames.

Anthony Baklayan's cause of death was listed as "effects of thermal injuries," while his mother's cause of death was deferred, according to the coroner's office.

The Woolsey Fire also killed a third victim. Family members identified him as 73-year-old Alfred Deciutiis, a retired physician whose body was found Nov. 14 in his burned-out home in the 32000 block of Lobo Canyon Road near Agoura Hills.

The blaze broke out Nov. 8 in Ventura County and quickly spread into Los Angeles County, burning almost 97,000 acres, injuring three firefighters, destroying 1,643 structures and damaging 364 others.

The blaze was 100 percent contained on Nov. 21.
