A minor has been charged with second-degree-murder charge following a fire at a youth facility in Kawartha Lakes.
Ontario Provincial Police say the suspect, who can't be identified under youth criminal justice laws, is being held in custody until a court appearance.
Police say they received a disturbance call at the group home for teens in the Village of Oakwood around 4:30 p.m. Friday.
When officers arrived, they found the facility on fiire and called in local fire and ambulance crews.
One person was killed and two others were injured.
An autopsy was held Saturday and the person who died has been identified, but police say further information including age and gender isn't being released to maintain the integrity of the investigation.
City of Kawartha Lakes Mayor Andy Letham issued a statement saying he is "deeply saddened by the tragic fire that has taken place."
