Pianists who have died in fires

[-NM-]

Title pretty much explains it.

Does anyone know of any famous/semi-famous Pianists who have died in fires?

It's not particuarly important so it's not worth going and cruising the library, it's just for one line in a story and if possible i'd just rather use a real name than a made up one.

Google search has yielded no results for me so far unfortunately.

Thanks.

could be the weirdest research question i've ever seen asked!

i doubt you'll find that any 'known' ones have... you'd do better with actors...

Steve Marriott of the Small Faces dies in a house fire in 1991 - he played keyboard, not strictly piano.

This site has a few other musicians, though not explicitly pianists, who have died in fires, might be helpful:
