A 60-year-old man died in a fire in a residential building in Malix in Churwaldnertal GR on Wednesday night. The occupant was rescued from the burning house by the fire department, but died on site.
The fire was discovered a little after 2 a.m., when smoke and flames were already coming out of the house, as the cantonal police reported on Wednesday. The unconscious occupant of the house had to be resuscitated after being rescued. However, resuscitation was unsuccessful.
To prevent the fire from spreading, the fire department covered part of the roof. Emergency services found the man's dog on a balcony and placed it with neighbors. The property damage amounts to several hundred thousand francs. The public prosecutor's office and cantonal police are investigating the cause of the fire.
