NORTH PORT, Fla. — A 74-year-old man was killed in an overnight house fire in North Port, the city confirmed.
Firefighters arrived at the home on Electra Avenue around 2:30 a.m. Sunday, where flames were seen shooting through the roof.
The man, who has not yet been identified, was found dead inside. The City of North Port said the man lived alone and appeared to be "living in hoarding conditions."
The Fire Marshal’s Office determined that there were no signs of foul play in how the fire started, but may not be able to find out how the fire started due to the conditions of the house, the city added.
