CALGARY — Police in Calgary say the death of a man in his late 80s after a fire at a seniors facility last month is being investigated as a homicide.
Police say the man died on Wednesday as a result of his injuries.
Officers were dispatched to Wentworth Manor in the city's southwest early on April 27 after a report of a suspicious fire.
By the time they arrived, firefighters had contained the blaze and a man was taken to hospital in life-threatening condition.
A resident of the manor was charged with arson, and police say there may be additional charges once the homicide investigation is complete.
Police say the suspect suffers from a mental-health condition and his identity is not being released.
