Retired man dies in apartment fire
By NANCY PAUL Whig-Standard Staff Writer
A 63-year-old Kingston man died early yesterday morning of smoke inhalation following a mattress fire in an apartment at 76 Pine St.
Dead is Leland (Earl) Dunleavy.
Firefighters found Dunleavy shortly after 6 am in his bed in the smoke-filled apartment.
The Ontario Fire Marshal’s office is investigating the blaze. Smoking in bed is believed to be the cause of the fire.
Kingston Fire Chief Cowdy said that the occupant had not installed a smoke detector in the apartment as required by city bylaw.
“Compliance with the city bylaw is not only sensible but also life-giving” he said. “We get a lot of calls from neighbor who hear smoke alarms providing early notification of the problem”.
A resident of the apartment next to Dunleavy’s said: "I guess I was the first to smell the smoke”.
The woman who asked not to be identified said that she had risen early to go to work and noticed an acrid odor.
When she discovered that the hallway was full of smoke she went upstairs to awaken superintendents Douglas and Valeries Niles.
They called the fire department before using the master key to open the door to Dunleavy’s apartment, Mrs Niles said. However they were unable to enter the apartment because of dense smoke.
Cowdy said that firefighters, wearing breathing equipment, made their way to the back of the apartment to the bedroom, where they discovered the dead man.
"The fire was confined to the bed itself”, he said, adding that there was little fire damage to the building, only some smoke and water damage.
Both the woman in the apartment next to Dunleavy’s and a neighbor ft om across the hall, Helen Bickell, said that they had arrived home at approximately midnight on Saturday night and had not noticed a smell of smoke.
Niles said that she had gotten to know Dunleavy quite well in the three to four years that he had lived in the apartment building. Dunleavy had retired here from British Columbia, said Mrs Niles. Dunleavy is survived by brothers, Patrick, of Kingston and Lawrence and William of Brockville and sisters Helen Sheridan and Margaret Picotte, also of Brockville.
He is also survived by several children, grandchildren, nieces and nephew.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete.
