DETROIT [[WXYZ) - An investigation continues into a deadly fire in Detroit.
It took the life of an elderly man sleeping in his home on Yellowstone Monday morning.
Investigators are interviewing witnesses and collecting evidence – to find out what happened.
Sources tell 7 Action News the fire started this morning in a first floor bedroom in the house in a neighborhood not far from Livernois and the Jeffries.

Three people lived there. An elderly couple sleeps in the room where the fire started.
The husband is the one who lost his life. His wife is in the hospital – rescued by firefighters.


The couple lived with their son- who has the bedroom upstairs.
Neighbors say the loss could have been multiplied – but a young woman who lives nearby heard cries for help, told her dad—and her dad ran to the rescue.
