RCMP, coroner, work together to probe fatal house fire in Surrey
SURREY, B.C. – RCMP say a house fire in Surrey, B.C., that killed one person early Wednesday morning is not suspicious.
Firefighters responded to the home in the Guildford neighbourhood just before 1 a.m.
A severely burned 55-year-old man was found dead at the scene while a woman suffering from smoke inhalation was rushed to hospital in serious condition.
Members of the RCMP’s serious crime section were called, while the cause of the blaze remained undetermined.
A release from the detachment confirms the fire is non-suspicious, although a cause of the fire has not been released.
The matter has now been turned over to the BC Coroners Service and Mounties say they will assist with the ongoing investigation.
