...YORK CITY: Betty Shabazz, the widow of Malcom X, died Monday at age 61 in a New York hospital of burns suffered in a June 1 fire in her apartment.

She kept it after his assassination on Feb. 21, 1965 even though it was three men connected to the Nation of Islam that were convicted of the killing.
