LANCASTER (AP) — Authorities have identified the man killed in an early morning row house fire blamed on unattended cooking in Pennsylvania.

Firefighters were called to the Lancaster home just after 1 a.m. Saturday and reported flames coming out of the rear of the house.

Officials said a man found in a second-floor bedroom was taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The Lancaster County coroner’s office identified the victim Saturday as 57-year-old Dana Bair.

Damage to the home was estimated at about $100,000.
