OPP and the Ontario Fire Marshall began investigating the man’s death, as well as the cause of the fire.
On Tuesday, police arrested Joseph Tobicoe, 36, of Hagersville.
He’s been charged with first-degree murder and arson, and is being held for a bail hearing in a Cayuga courtroom on Wednesday.
The cause of the fire hasn’t been released and the connection between the suspect and the victim hasn’t been revealed, but police say King was the only person who lived in the apartment unit.
