  • Body found in Vancouver blaze

Vancouver firefighters responding to a blaze on the downtown eastside say they have found the body of a man at the site of the fire.

Vancouver Fire Rescue Services say they responded to a fire Saturday at 9:30 p-m on Dunlevy Avenue, in the back of the Asian Canadian Benevolent Association building.

Police say they found the body of a 50-year-old man in the electrical room in the parking lot, where the fire is believed to have started accidentally.

The Asian Canadian Benevolent Association says the man -- who may have been living in the room -- was not associated with the organization.
