Annapolis District RCMP, supported by the Nova Scotia Office of the Fire Marshal and the Nova Scotia Medical Examiner Service, is investigating a fatal house fire that occurred in Margaretsville.

On November 14, at approximately 4:20 a.m., RCMP officers and fire services responded to a report of an active structure fire in the 2300 block of Hwy. 362. Upon arrival at the scene, first responders found a residence fully engulfed in flames.

After the fire was extinguished, the remains of an adult were located inside the home.

At this time, from the information and evidence gathered, the fire is not believed to be suspicious in nature. However, the investigation is ongoing.

Our thoughts are with the victim’s loved ones at this difficult time.
