PHOENIX (AP) - A man has died after a house fire Thursday in west Phoenix, according to authorities.

Phoenix police said city firefighters were called out to the home just before 1 p.m. and found a man with extensive burns to his body.

They said the man died at the scene. His name and age weren’t immediately available.



Police are investigating, but they say foul play isn’t suspected.

They said fire investigators will work to determine what caused the blaze which didn’t extend to the central part of the home.

The Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office will try to determine the cause of death.
