ON The Buses star Anna Karen has died in a blaze apparently started after she dozed off while smoking. Anna, 85 — Olive in the 1970s sitcom — was heard screaming “Help me, help me” as the fire engulfed her terraced home.
Police said the cause of Tuesday night’s blaze was under investigation but it was not thought to be suspicious. Smoker Anna, who was in EastEnders with pal Barbara Windsor, was confined to the ground floor of her three-bed home and used a wheelchair.
Kirti Munnasinghe, 42, was arriving home from work when he heard her screams for help. He said: “I noticed smoke from Anna’s house.
As more came out the screams were getting more desperate. It was very frightening.” Sunny Soodh, another neighbour in Ilford, East London, said: “We all knew Anna. "She was lovely but very isolated in recent times.” A source said: “She was apparently in bed at the time of the fire. "It’s thought she fell asleep with a cigarette.” .css-qu9fel{border-top:1px solid #dcdddd;}.css-b9nmbi{margin-bottom:16px;border-top:1px solid.
