A FIRE that killed a man in a Wembley council estate last night is “unexplained”, police say.

A man, who officers believe was in his 50s, died in a ground floor flat of a two storey block in John Perrin Place at around 10.40pm.

Detectives are continuing to investigate but confirmed they are currently treating the cause as unexplained.

Next of kin have been informed and residents of the block say family, including a niece, were at the scene this morning.
