A 73-year-old man who suffered burns in a fire in his home on February 24, succumbed to his injuries last night.

The fire appears to have started from a heater while the man was asleep.

The man was trapped in the house and was rescued  by members of the police and the civil protection department, some of whom also needed to be helped for smoke inhalation.
