Shortly after 10.40am yesterday morning, Tuesday 5^th June 2018, emergency services attended the report of a house fire in Coetmor Road, Bethesda.     The fire was brought under control but sadly the lone male occupant, a local man in his 50s, did not survive and passed away in hospital.  His next of kin are aware.

North Wales Police and North Wales Fire and Rescue Service are conducting a joint investigation to establish the cause of the fire although at this stage we do not believe it is suspicious.   Part of that investigation will include speaking with members of the community who may have been in the area at the time and so I would ask that if you can assist in this investigation contact Police on 101.
