Ottawa police said there was no indication of foul play in the death of a man found early Monday morning suffering from serious burns in the 100 block of Queen Street.

The victim died from his injuries in hospital.

Following the death, police homicide detectives took carriage of the investigation of the suspicious death.

“Following the initial stages of this investigation, we can confirm that there was no foul play in this tragic incident,” police said in a social media release.

“The man’s next of kin have been notified.”

The victim’s identity was not released.

Police said the arson squad will continue to work with the provincial Office of the Fire Marshal to determine “the material or substance(s) involved in the origin of the fire.”

But “the investigation can confidently confirm that no one else was involved in setting the fire that led to the man’s death,” the release stated.
