Police said that the landlord observed smoke emanating from the house and on inspection discovered that the main door to the house was locked.

“Having made this observation, she raised an alarm after which neighbors formed a bucket brigade in effort to extinguish the fire but in vain. Shortly after, a Fire Tender from the Campbellville Fire Station arrived at the scene, went into action and extinguished the fire,” Police said in a statement.

Kyte’s badly burnt body was discovered lying in the kitchen. He was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) where he was pronounced dead.

A post mortem examination is scheduled.
