Investigators: At least one person is dead after a structure fire in McKeesport

At least one person has died following a structure fire in McKeesport Sunday morning, according to investigators.

Investigators at the scene said the victim who died in the fire is a man in his 90s.

“This whole area right here was blanketed in smoke this morning,” said neighbor Stacey Seachrist, “I came back up the street to check my house to see if maybe I left something on or something.”

Crews remain at the scene investigating the cause. Further information has not been released at this time.
