The alarm came in at 02:38 that there was a fire in an apartment on Bures street.

- A neighbor smelled smoke and thought the wall felt warm, says Joel Johansson, internal commander of the rescue service.

When the emergency services arrived, they reportedly found a man unconscious in the apartment.

The man was taken by hospital to an ambulance, but his life could not be saved.

Relatives have been notified.

Classified as murder

The emergency services were able to extinguish the fire so that it did not spread to the other apartments.

The police cordoned off the stairwell for a technical investigation.

The police are classifying the incident as a homicide because they cannot rule out the possibility that it was an accident.
