This is the first confirmed death since the blaze, which tore through the three-storey, 15-unit residential building at the intersection of Place d’Youville and Saint-Nicolas Street. 

Steve Belzil, commander of the Montreal police arson squad, said the victim’s body was pulled from the rubble at 6:45 p.m. local time.

“The steps to identify this victim will be taken by our partners in the forensic scientific laboratory,” he said.
