Arson investigators are trying to determine the cause of a house fire that broke out Friday afternoon in Del Mar, killing one.
The fire was reported at around 1:55 p.m. on Luneta Drive north of 15th Street. A witness heard a smoke detector going off inside the home and called 9111, according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.
A deputy went around the back of the house to check for victims but was pushed back by heavy smoke, deputies said. Firefighters continued the search and eventually found a man in a bedroom. The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital but did not survive.
