Careless smoking has been blamed for a fatal house fire in East London on Wednesday.
Assistant Deputy Fire Chief Jim Fitzgerald said Friday the fire began in a rocking chair in the living room of a second-floor apartment.
All Costain, 64, was found dead in his bedroom at 1713 Dundas St. E. by firefighters. He died of asphyxiation.
Fitzgerald said there were no smoke detectors in the apartment.
