30 year old British man was killed today, Monday, in a fire in a flat in the Zaidín district of Granada, according to the National police who identified him this afternoon.
The fire broke out at 9am in the morning for reasons which are still being investigated, in the eighth floor flat of Avenida de América number 48. Local and National Police, the fire service and health crews were called to the scene.
It appears the man, who has not yet been named by the police, died from carbon monoxide inhalation, and he was the only occupant of the flat when the fire, which gutted the kitchen, broke out.
Neighbours said the flat was rented out to students.
The body of the British man was found some three metres from the door indicating that he was trying to escape when overcome by the fumes. Health workers tried for nearly an hour to revive him.
The flats on the 8th floor of the building were evacuated as a precaution, but the residents have now been allowed back home.:Text may be subject to copyright.This blog does not claim copyright to any such text. Copyright remains with the original copyright holder.
