(CNN) -- A sixth baby has died nearly a month after a fire in the intensive care unit at Giulesti Maternity Hospital in Bucharest, Romania, officials said Sunday.
The premature baby, who was 14 days old at the time of the August 16 fire, suffered severe burns over more than 50 percent of his body and also serious burns of the airways, but he survived for 27 days. He died Sunday.
Three babies died in the fire, while two others succumbed in the following days.
Five babies remained in stable condition at Grigore Alexandrescu Hospital and have started to gain weight, said hospital official Dr. Dan Enescu. Although doctors are optimistic about the babies' prognosis, Enescu said, physicians still must wait until the infants are stronger before performing any surgeries.
Three people have been charged, one of whom was placed under arrest.
Florentina Cirstea, a nurse in charge of the maternity hospital's intensive care unit, was ordered held for 29 days last month while officials continue their criminal investigation. She is accused of manslaughter and unintentionally causing injuries.
