I haven't been able to find anything about two deaths, but what I did find is scary as hell.

Wanda Ashley Stock, 17, had only been living with James Hodgkinson, 66, and his wife for a few months when the teen doused herself with gasoline and burned to death, the Daily Beast reported.

Who the hell would douse themselves in gasoline, and light themselves on fire? I would like to find an autopsy report, and/or a death certificate for this poor girl.

The article then goes on to explain a second teen the family took in, who was later removed after allegations of abuse. I wonder if we could find that person. I would also like to thank OP for bringing this to our attention. We have the power and the opportunity to verify, and even expand upon a lot of information in cases like these. The autopsy report and death certificate should be well within the means of any motivated individual to acquire. I will see what I can do.

After some more reading through the comments here, it appears the second girl died from a heroin overdose, possibly in Colorado, after being adopted by Hodgkinsons' neighbors. The suicide by fire still seems like the best avenue to research. I have never heard of anyone lighting themselves on fire with the intention of suicide. I'd like to know how a coroner could justify that as a suicide.
