Upon arrival, Bellefontaine firefighters found a fire near the stove in the kitchen, Fire Chief Brian Wilson said.
Crews also found an unresponsive man in the living room.
After firefighters rescued the victim, medics took him to a local hospital, where “they were able to get some vitals back on him,” Wilson said.
He was flown to The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center in Columbus overnight due to the severity of his injuries.
Wilson said the victim was pronounced dead on Sunday. His identity was not immediately available.
Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the fire, and the damage was mostly contained to the kitchen.
No firefighters were hurt.
The State Fire Marshal’s office is helping investigate the cause of the fire, but there is no indication that it was suspicious, Wilson said.
