New footage of deadly Old Montreal fire shows masked person leaving the scene
CBC
As police continue to investigate Friday's deadly fire in Old Montreal, more security footage showing its immediate aftermath has surfaced.
Friday's five-alarm fire in a 100-year-old three storey building at the corner of Notre-Dame and Bonsecours streets killed two people. On Saturday, Montreal police confirmed the victims were 43-year-old Léonor Geraudie and her seven-year-old daughter Vérane Reynaud-Geraudie, who were French nationals.
The building housed a restaurant on the main floor and a hostel upstairs.
Since the deadly fire, Radio-Canada has obtained two videos from a security camera overlooking the front of the restaurant. The first one showed a person breaking into the building through its main floor, minutes before the fire broke out.
The newest footage shows a person leaving the building, with the fire burning on the main floor. The footage appears to be from the same camera as the first one.
The person then takes out a phone and seems to capture images of the fire before leaving the scene.
When the first video was made public, Montreal police said they would not comment on it. On Saturday, police said they would not publicize details about the cause of the fire and search for possible suspects.
According to police, there were 25 people inside of the building at the time of the fire and 23 have been accounted for.
