REVELSTOKE, B.C. — A man has died after his mobile home caught fire early Thursday morning.

The home, located in the 1700-block of Lundell Road, reportedly burst into flames around 6 a.m. Neighbours told fire crews they believed the mobile home was empty, however when firefighters got inside they discovered that wasn’t the case.

The man’s body was discovered in the rubble after firefighters put out the flames.

The Revelstoke RCMP has teamed up with forensic investigators to determine the cause of the blaze, while the B.C. Coroner’s Service has launched an inquest into the man’s death.

The victim’s name won’t be released until his family has been notified.
