The provincial Office of the Fire Marshal has deemed as accidental a fatal fire in Ottawa’s south end Wednesday.

The fire claimed the life of a man in his 60s. The victim’s identity and cause of death have not been released.

Investigator Tom Hoppe said Thursday the investigation remains open pending final reports come from agencies including the Centre for Forensic Sciences. That’s expected to take about six weeks.

Firefighters were called to the highrise building at 1455 Heatherington Rd near the intersection of Walkley and Albion roads at 2:09 a.m.

They found smoke in unit 516 and declared a working fire at 2:19 a.m.

Firefighters removed two men from a fifth-floor unit. Paramedics said that a man in his 60s was pronounced dead at the scene. A 61-year-old man was treated and released for smoke inhalation.

None of the other units in the building were damaged in the fire and other residents were able to return to their homes.
