Man found dead inside Itten's Flowers on Highway 3

The Ontario Fire Marshal's Office has been called in to determine the cause of the fatal fire that broke out Saturday morning around 10:00.

Local fire crews called in for help from both Haldimand County and Pelham to battle the flames.

Once on site they learned one person was missing.

Fire officials tell the Standard they pushed as far as they could into the greenhouse to search for the missing person, but heavy smoke and flames forced them back.

The victim was later found inside.

No other details are available.
