MONTREAL — One person was found dead and another is still missing after a house caught fire Friday evening in Saint-Georges, Quebec, about 85 kilometres southeast of Quebec City.
Quebec provincial police spokesperson Élizabeth Marquis-Guy says the man was found in the home but police are not yet able to confirm his identity.
Earlier today police said they were working to locate a missing man in his 50s and another man in his 60s.
Police say they received a 911 call at around 5 p.m. on Friday.
Firefighters battled the flames well into the night and have since put out the fire.
Marquis-Guy says the cause of the fire is not yet known, and the investigation is ongoing.
