An elderly man has died in an east-end apartment fire.
The blaze broke out at about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday in a 13th floor unit of a building on Strathmore Blvd, near Danforth and Greenwood Aves.
A man in his 70s was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Deputy Fire Chief Jim Jessop tells our sister station CP24 they have been to this building before. Late last year, there was another fatal fire that was contained to one unit.
The previous blaze was caused by careless smoking. The cause of Wednesday's fire is still being investigated.
