Firefighters remove equipment from the scene of a fatal house fire on Sunset Road Wednesday.

Guelph police say a house fire earlier this week that claimed the life of a Guelph man and seriously injured another has been deemed not suspicious in nature.

This ends police involvement.

The Office of the Fire Marshall with assistance from the Guelph Fire Department have begun their investigation to determine the cause of the fire at a townhouse complex on Sunset Road behind Willow West Mall that was reported shortly before 7 a.m..

A 41-year-old man was pronounced deceased at the scene and a 40-year-old woman remains in a Hamilton hospital.
