Ellement and Stephanie Ebbert, Globe Staff | March 17, 2007 Report provided additional regarding the fire that killed Derek Crowl. Derek and another out-of-state student came to Boston and partied with three other men in the apartment. They barbecued on the back porch at one point during the night, and about 1 a.m., lit the grill again to make cheeseburgers. Hot embers from the charcoal grill was smoldering for hours in the wooden deck and a nearby couch before bursting into fast-moving flames shortly before 6 a.m. Derek's body was found crouched next to a closet door, leading investigators to believe he had become disoriented trying to crawl out of the room and had mistaken the closet for an exit. Using grills on wooden porches is prohibited in Brookline.
