One person is dead, and two others are hospitalized following a house fire in Orangeville Thursday morning.

Officials say three people were initially taken to the hospital following the fire that broke out at the two-storey home sometime before 7:30 a.m. on Still Court near Passmore Avenue.

"The identity of the deceased will be withheld pending identification and notice to the next of kin," OPP added.
