Unconscious man found in smoky Warren condo dies at hospital

An unconscious man was found in a smoky condo in Warren on Saturday afternoon and later died at the hospital.

Around 1:30 p.m. Saturday, light smoke was reported coming from two condominiums in the Bear Creek Condominium Complex on the 8000 block of Willow Court, according to a release from the Warren Fire Department.

Firefighters entered both condos and found an unconscious man sitting in a living room area. He was transported to Ascension Macomb Hospital and pronounced dead in the emergency room.

The condo unit where the fire originated "suffered fire and minimal water damage," according to the report.

Hospital staff suspect the man may have suffered a medical emergency prior to the start of the fire. An autopsy is underway.

Firefighters are investigating the man's identity and whether he was a resident of the Bear Creek Condominium Complex. The cause and origin of the fire are still being investigated, but investigators said it did not appear to be suspicious or looking to involve arson.
