One person was found dead after a house fire in Pittsburgh's Brighton Heights neighborhood.
According to Pittsburgh Public Safety, around 5 a.m. on Saturday, crews were called to a home on Parviss Street. Firefighters arrived to heavy smoke and flames coming from the top floors and the roof of the house.
Firefighters were eventually able to clear each floor of the home, and 64-year-old Mark Jeselnick was found dead in a bedroom on the second floor just after 6 a.m., officials said.
The fire was deemed under control just after 7:00 a.m., but firefighters continued to extinguish several hotspots in the eaves and third floor of the structure.
Detectives later determined that the fire originated in the second-floor bedroom and was accidental in nature.
