POLICE have named the 74-year-old man who died after a fire at his home in Andreas.
He was Edward Walter Corlett.
Mr Corlett died on Monday after suffering injuries in the blaze, which happened in the bedroom of his home in Larivane Meadows earlier that day.
Fire officers received the call just after 9.30am and two appliances from Ramsey Fire Station and one from Kirk Michael attended.
By the time they arrived the fire had been put out by another occupant. Both occupants were taken to Noble’s Hospital for treatment.
Crews were at the scene for three hours.
Detective Constable Alan Shimmin said: ‘An investigation is ongoing into the cause of the fire, which was contained to one room, however at this stage there do not appear to be any suspicious circumstances. Our thoughts go out to Mr Corlett’s family and I would ask that their privacy is respected at this difficult time.’
