HOUSTON — An elderly man died in a house fire in southwest Houston Sunday night, according to Houston firefighters.
This happened around 10:15 p.m. at a home on Trail Lake Lane, a few blocks east of South Post Oak.
When Houston firefighters arrived at the scene, they found the victim inside of the home. He was transported to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Although they are investigating this is an accidental fire right now, HFD Arson and HPD Homicide units were called to the scene in case anything suspicious comes up.
“He was very much loved in the community, everybody in the neighborhood and on the street looked after him. This is really a sad time for the neighborhood," Nicole Allen, who grew up with the victim, said.
