A man in his 90s died in a house fire on Saturday in Guelph, say police.
Police said just before 3 p.m. emergency services were called to a fire on Mayfield Avenue in the Gordon Street and Stone Road East area.
A police release said that the “officers arrived three minutes later to find the house fully engulfed and were unable to make entry.”
The Guelph Fire Department arrived shortly after police, and after some time spent fighting the fire, they found the man dead inside the house.
Both the Guelph Fire Department and Guelph Police Service are still investigating the cause.
The release said that the Ontario Fire Marshal’s Office was called to the scene for the ongoing investigation.
A post-mortem examination is scheduled for Tuesday, and the scene will be held by police until then.
