Man Dead In Overnight Plymouth House Fire

PLYMOUTH (CBS) -- A fire at a multi-family home in Plymouth killed one man early Wednesday morning.

An adult male was found dead on the second floor of the house on Sousso Lane, fire officials said. The fire may have originated in a bedroom on the second floor, Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz said.

No other residents were injured, but one firefighter suffered a minor injury after slipping and falling.

This is the 17th fire death in Massachusetts in 2015.
