Cpl. Parisella of the RCMP tells CHSJ News that it's not suspicious and that it was clearly an accident. He tells us the 88-year-old man was burning debris, which can include things like leaves and old plastic containers, on his property and somehow the fire got out of hand, flaring up and transferring to him.
Parisella says the man's name has not been, and may not be, released.
