Controversy Of Patricia

In December 1998, Patricia Brentrup faced a lawsuit amounting to $80 million from her former neighbors after a fire engulfed her flat in a Manhattan high-rise apartment. Tragically, the blaze resulted in the loss of four lives—two men and two women—and caused injuries to around twenty others.

Allegedly, the fire initiated in Brentrup's residence and spread throughout the building. Reports suggest the fire started when a dried-up Christmas tree caught flames, possibly as the Culkin family exited their apartment without closing the door, allowing smoke to spread into the corridor.

At the time of the incident, Patricia and her six children were present in the apartment. Notably, Macaulay Culkin, one of her sons, had already moved out but continued to visit his mother and siblings regularly.
