"He had a suitcase filled with his and his wife's medications. The suitcase was riddled with bullet holes," their daughter recalled.
The fire was one of the deadliest industrial disasters in New York City history.
The August fire had been brought under control but never completely extinguished, with embers still burning in the forest.
Civil defense sources said parts of the building had collapsed in the fire.
The fire happened in a Christian town that has been recovering since the war on ISIS. ISIS expelled Christians from Mosul, Nineveh, and Christian towns like Hamdaniya.
Firefighters are still trying to figure out what began the blaze.
The fire ripped through a large events hall in the north-eastern region after fireworks were lit during the celebration, local civil defense said, according to state media.
