A mother and daughter tragically died on June 1 after family members say the 34-year-old mother set herself on fire from inside her Hampton, Virginia, home. According to a report for WAVY TV 10, earlier this month, Destiny Wilson poured gasoline on herself, setting herself on fire, while in a front room of her mother’s home near the 4100 block of Chippendale Court. Wilson’s mother told the local news outlet that she had a mental illness, had been previously institutionalized, and had threatened suicide in the past. Sadly, her 3-year-old daughter, Jamie Lee, was present in the room during the tragic incident, and also died.
