Pasquale Troisi was in a medically induced coma, but passed away on Monday. Maggio's will host a benefit for the family on April 20.
It was supposed to be a homecoming party of sorts, but it turned into tragedy. Celebrating his return from Afghanistan, Petty Officer 2nd Class Pasquale Troisi suffered serious burns after a freestanding fireplace exploded at a home on Broadway in Upper Moreland. Investigators said the explosion was caused by someone who poured gasoline on the logs to try and get wet logs to burn. Troisi, 31, was in a medically induced coma at Temple University Hospital for three weeks after the Feb. 22 incident.

High school freshman, Kelsey Timte, and family hope to raise money at a Beef and Beer event in order to send Kelsey to London to perform with her choral group at the 2012 Olympics.
The General Davis House will host a Beef and Beer on Saturday October 15 to help raise money for a William Tennent freshman to join her fellow chorus members at the 2012 Olympics in London. The Tennent chorus program was notified in July that they were selected to perform at the Olympic Games next summer. The price to send each student to England costs about $3,800. For Kelsey Timte, that could keep her home. “Finances are tight right now for my family,” Kelsey said. “So it’s hard to get me there.” Kelsey’s father passed away in May after battling cancer. The fight with cancer and the untimely loss of her dad, Harry, brought about a tight financial situation. Her sister, Lindsay said that their dad worked a lot to provide for the family. “…
