A man has died following a fire that broke out inside a North York retirement home late Sunday evening. Emergency crews were called to the residence after reports of smoke and flames coming from one of the units. Firefighters were able to contain the blaze quickly, but one male resident was found unresponsive inside.

Paramedics attempted life‑saving measures, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene. Other residents were safely evacuated, and no additional injuries were reported.

The victim’s identity has not yet been released as authorities notify next of kin.
