A 21-year-old British man was sentenced to life in prison Friday after he allegedly confessed to killing an elderly grandmother during a game of Truth or Dare with friends.
Gregory died on June 1, 2018 and her cause of death was initially ruled as pneumonia and smoke inhalation. A joint investigation by police and the Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service concluded the fire started as the result of a discarded cigarette and in October 2018, her death was determined to have been accidental.
The case was reopened a year later when Darnton allegedly confessed to a counselor that he deliberately set the fire. The investigation also revealed he made a similar confession weeks after Gregory's death during a game of truth or dare with friends, Sky News reported.
