Hero, 8, dies after saving six relatives in trailer home fire

They say no good deed goes unpunished, a lesson that the upstate New York town of Penfield learned again the hard way after an 8-year-old boy, who saved six relatives from a trailer-home fire, died while trying to save the seventh who couldn't move because he was disabled.
Tyler J. Doohan, of East Rochester, N.Y., didn't have school Monday because of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. He talked his mother into allowing him to spend the night with his grandfather, Louis J. Beach, 57, who lives in a trailer in Penfield, a town of about 36,000 people near Rochester in Monroe County.
"He was his best friend," Crystal Vrooman told the TV station WHAM, describing the relationship between her father and her son.
