Goldsborough man dies in house fire

By Niamh Sutton

An investigation into the blaze is ongoing.

Emergency services were called to a blaze at a home on Goldsborough Road, north of Dunolly on Friday, June 13 at about 9 am.

The alarm was raised after a neighbour noticed smoke billowing from the property.

Sadly the body of a man was found when the fire was extinguished.

The body is yet to be formally identified, however it is believed the deceased is the resident of the home, a 79-year-old man.

An arson chemist attended the scene and the investigation surrounding the circumstances remains ongoing.

At this early stage, however, the fire appears to be non-suspicious.

Anyone who witnessed the fire or with dashcam vision is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppers
