Coroner investigates after body pulled from fire at Moncton, N.B., home
MONCTON, N.B. — The New Brunswick coroner is investigating after a man was found dead in his garage following a fire at a Moncton home.
Platoon chief Robert Brine says firefighters responded to a garage fire at approximately 6 a.m. today on Rogers Road, about 15 kilometres west of the city centre near Berry Mills.
Brine says firefighters were notified en route that a person might be inside the residence, and when they arrived they had to break open a door to access the fully engulfed building.
He says firefighters pulled the man out of the building, but he was already dead.
