1 dead after fire destroys home north of Montreal
Quebec provincial police say a body has been found inside a home that caught fire overnight in Crabtree, Que., in the Lanaudière region.
Firefighters were called to the home around 2:30 a.m. Sunday. When they arrived, the house was engulfed in flames.
The investigation was transferred to the Sûreté du Québec, and officers found a body in the ruins. The person has not been identified.
A car is parked in the home's driveway, and a neighbour told Radio-Canada a man lived alone in the home.
Crabtree is about 70 kilometres north of downtown Montreal.
