Just before 3 p.m. on Jan. 18, firefighters responded to the 24000 block of Phillip after a neighbor reported seeing black smoke coming from the rear of the home, Southfield Fire Chief Johnny Menifee said. 

When they arrived, they found a man inside and administered aid. 

The man was taken to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries. 

Menifee says his identity will be released once family members are notified. 

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
