A Dovecot woman in her 80s, with dementia, lit her fire by carrying flaming paper from the kitchen cooker to the living room heater;

A painfully-thin Kensington man, in his 80s, was unaware of a potentially-fatal carbon monoxide leak in his meter cupboard;

A Wirral man, in his 70s, died after suffering burns and smoke inhalation due to ineffective heating;

A 91-year-old woman from West Derby, with a chest infection, was found with a condemned 50-year-old heater that was spewing out potentially-fatal carbon monoxide;

An elderly woman, regularly cooking meals for her two sisters, who had long died, was placing their meals on the table in her home, which had a gas leak.

Health bosses have identified carbon monoxide leaks and cold houses as the biggest killers of elderly people in the city.

(AP) ? Riot police in Bahrain clashed with reform activists Saturday in one of the most widespread days of protest in the Gulf kingdom for months, firing rubber bullets and filling the air with stinging tear gas. A gas canister fired from a gun at close range struck a 15-year-old in the chest and killed him, the opposition said.

The violence broke out in several towns around the small island nation, and protesters fought back by hurling rocks and firebombs at police.

Crowds across Bahrain again began to take their anger to the streets in recent days, pressing for action on recommendations by a government-sponsored inquiry that found evidence of torture and other abuses against detainees.

The head of a committee set up by the government to study ways of implementing the report's recommendations resigned Saturday, apparently out of frustration with the lack of progress.

The demonstrations are led by Shiite Muslim activists seeking more rights from the ruling Sunni dynasty, but they have stopped short of calling for its overthrow as in other protest movements that grew out of this year's Arab Spring. Bahrain's Shiites are about 70 percent of the nation's 525,000 citizens and have long complained of widespread discrimination, such as being blocked from top government or military posts.

The 15-year-old killed Saturday, Sayed Hashim Saeed, was from the southeastern Bahraini island of Sitra. He was hit by a tear gas canister and later died at a hospital, said Hadi al-Mousawi, a spokesman for the country's largest Shiite opposition group, Al Wefaq.

"Ongoing repression in Bahrain is happening amid international silence as people demand democratization and reject dictatorship," said Al Wefaq in a statement.

Several injuries were also reported by activists and rights groups.

The special commission that investigated Bahrain's turmoil outlined a number of recommendations. They include allowing some 4,000 workers fired for taking part in protests to return to their jobs, releasing political prisoners who made confessions under abuse, and throwing out guilty verdicts for those tried in state security courts, which have since been dissolved.

The head of the committee tasked with studying the recommendations, Ali Saleh, resigned, saying in a statement Saturday that he was attacked by state media and senior government officials for trying to do his job. He did not elaborate.

The Interior Ministry said it arrested several people on Saturday for attacking police with firebombs.

Bahrain is a critical U.S. ally and is home to the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet. Washington has taken a cautious line with authorities, urging Bahrain's leaders to open more dialogue with the opposition, but avoiding too much public pressure.

NFL Four Downs: Pirate hoaxes of the Circle K

First down

San Francisco at St. Louis

11 a.m., TV ? Ch. 13

Reason to watch ? Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo called you up and made a personal plea for you to watch this game, as the only way he gets the Rams to overlook his 10-37 (soon to be 10-38) career record and not fire him is by getting every nfl fan in the world to watch this game and thus convince the team he is ratings gold. Though his motives are self-serving, you still appreciate that he took the time to call. Not every NFL head coach does.

Reason not to watch ? You suspect your efforts will go for naught, and then it will have just been a colossal waste of time.

The line ? San Fran. by 101/2.

The pick ? San Francisco. If you do the math, 10-38 works out to a .208 winning percentage.

Second down

Story continues below

N.Y. Jets at Miami

11 a.m., TV ? Ch. 2

Reason to watch ? You heard Jason Taylor was retiring after this game. And while you don?t know much about football, you did love his performances on "Dancing With the Stars." Big guy sure can pirouette!

Reason not to watch ? Damon Huard. Jay Fiedler. Ray Lucas. Brian Griese. A.J. Feeley. Sage Rosenfels. Gus Frerotte. Joey Harrington. Daunte Culpepper. Cleo Lemon. Trent Green. John Beck. Chad Pennington. Chad Henne. Tyler Thigpen. Matt Moore. But not Andrew Luck. Hope you?re happy with those five wins. Dumb.

The line ? Miami by 3.

The pick ? N.Y. Jets. On the one hand, Mark Sanchez is no Dan Marino. On the other, he?s no Matt Moore, either.

Third down

Kansas City at Denver
