One person is dead following a fire at a hotel in Gladstone, Man. early Christmas morning.
RCMP were called to the fire at the hotel on Morris Street around 1:40 a.m.
Police say officers helped evacuate building connected to the hotel with help from a local resident, while firefighters battled blaze.
Investigators say officers were told a man who lived in one of the rooms had not been seen and was potentially still in the building.
Human remains were found inside the building once the fire was put out.
In a release Wednesday RCMP said work to identify the victim is ongoing.
