Share

An investigation is underway after police say a man died in a house fire in Midland over the weekend.

According to OPP, crews were notified of a fire on Barnett Avenue after neighbours noticed flames coming from the home Sunday morning.

Neighbours forced their way through the front door and called 911.

OPP say a 39-year-old man, who was later confirmed to be the homeowner, was located in the garage of the single-story detached bungalow.

The man was triaged and taken to an area hospital by paramedics but was later pronounced dead by medical staff.

Police say foul play is not suspected; however, an investigation will be conducted by the Office of Ontario Fire Marshal.

A post-mortem will be conducted by the Chief Coroner and the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service to determine the cause of death.
