By Roni Singer-Hertui, Haaretz Correspondent
Fire fighters on Sunday morning put out a blaze at a Herzliya apartment building that killed one resident and caused damage to property.
Three fire engines rushed to the scene after receiving a call around 08:45. At the scene, rescue forces found a 58-year old handicapped man laying dead on the floor of his bedroom. All the other residents were safely evacuated from the building.
According to an initial inquiry, it is still unclear whether the conflagration that apparently started in the man's bedroom was deliberate or accidental.
