BEAVER TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Several fire departments and police agencies helped extinguish a deadly fire that started early Sunday morning.

They were called just before 4:30 a.m. to a home on 7 Mile Rd near Maple Island Rd.

Newaygo Central Dispatch confirmed 1 person died, and Newaygo County Sheriff's Office later posted details on social media saying a 69-year-old man was pulled from the home— despite life-saving measures, he was pronounced dead.

A 69-year-old woman was also in the home, but was able to get out without being hurt.

While not considered suspicious, the fire marshal is still investigating for the cause of the fire.
