VANCOUVER – Fire crews have found a body in a Vancouver home that was so packed with clutter they couldn’t get safely inside to put out the flames.
The home caught fire early Sunday, and crews rushed to extinguish the blaze but could only pour water on it from the outside.
When they were finally able to use heavy equipment to dismantle the home and look inside, they found a victim.
Fire captain Gabe Roder says the coroner has completed an initial examination and determined the victim is a man.
He has not yet been identified.
Roder says the fire is not considered suspicious, although its cause will remain undetermined because of extensive damage from both the blaze and the home’s subsequent demolition.
