A person found dead after a fire in an Edmonton home last week didn’t die in the blaze, investigators have determined.
Firefighters were called to a burning home in the area of 98th Street and 156th Avenue around 9:45 a.m. last Friday.
When crews got inside the Beaumaris neighbourhood home, they discovered a body.
In a news release Wednesday, Edmonton Fire Rescue Services said the investigation is now concluded.
“The fire is determined to be accidental, although a specific cause is undetermined; and the fatality is determined to not be fire-related,” the news release said.
Investigators put damage to the structure at $250,000, with a further $75,000 in damages to contents.
