OTTAWA -- A 42-year-old man has died after a fire broke out at a Centretown apartment early Monday evening.

Firefighters found a 42-year-old man unconscious in the apartment, and he was rushed to the Ottawa Hospital Civic campus.
Tuesday morning, police said the man was later pronounced dead.
The Ottawa Police Arson Unit is investigating the cause of the fire.
