CBC
A man who was injured in a fire on London's King Street on Wednesday died in hospital after being rescued by first responders, police said Thursday.
His death is the second fire-related one reported in the city over three days, following a separate fatal house fire in the east end on Tuesday.
First responders were called to the fire at around 4:10 p.m. ET, according to police.
The blaze broke out in a multi-unit building at 632 King St. just three hours after and two blocks away from a separate fire on William Street that killed a dog. Police said there is no evidence to suggest those fires are linked.
When crews arrived, the man was found inside the home and was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said.
The man died in hospital Thursday morning.
Police said the fire investigation is in its early stages and they will provide more information as appropriate.
