Jefferson Parish authorities say first responders found a man dead after flames tore through a Westbank home.

"In conjunction with the Bridge City Volunteer Fire Company, the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office is investigating a fatal fire that occurred last night in Bridge City," JPSO Sergeant Brandon Veal said in an email.


He explained that just before midnight, firefighters and sheriff's deputies responded to the 200 block of Oak Drive in Bridge City.

"Upon arrival, they observed an active fire at the location. After the fire was extinguished, an unresponsive elderly male was located inside the residence. The man was suffering from fire-related injuries and was pronounced dead on the scene."

Veal says investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire.
