A neigh­bour’s re­gret now hangs over a Point Fortin tragedy, where a 40-year-old man died in a house fire on Sun­day night af­ter hours of vis­i­ble dis­tress.

Po­lice said the fire broke out short­ly af­ter 9.10 pm at a two-storey board-and-con­crete house on Reid Road Ex­ten­sion.

Of­fi­cers re­spond­ing to a re­port ar­rived to find the wood­en sec­tion of the house en­gulfed in flames.
