A house fire in Kitimat yesterday claimed the life of one resident, and sent two others to hospital.
RCMP were called out to the 500 block of Columbia Avenue West yesterday afternoon for reports of the residential blaze.
They arrived to find the home fully engulfed, with crews from the Kitimat Fire Department already on-hand fighting the flames.
Two occupants had been able to escape the residence and were taken to hospital with fire-related injuries.
Unfortunately police later located the deceased body of a third occupant, who had been unable to escape the residence in time.
An investigation into the cause of the fire is still on-going, with the Coroners Service conducting a simultaneous investigation into the unexpected death.
