Woman dead in Villeray fire

An 88-year-old woman was found dead in an apartment fire in Villeray overnight, upstairs from a bakery which was likely the source of the fire; the TVA account – with raw video – mentions an investigation as possible arson.

This is my neighbourhood and my local bakery. Nice people who’d upgraded the front shop in recent years to make it more pleasant and appealing. Especially hard on them to have this happen on the eve of the holidays.

Update: the Journal has a bit more specific information about the deceased woman, the bakery owner and so on. Another reason I won’t block QMI: they often present more human interest background on stories than other media do.
