A Fort Collins man has been arrested and charged with causing the fire that killed one person and injured two others at a west Fort Collins residence in October.
Michael Dye, 34, was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter, fourth-degree arson, unlawful possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia on April 5. A warrant was issued for his arrest in November.
Fort Collins police, along with Poudre Fire Authority and medical units, responded to reports of a structure fire in a unit at 3219 Sumac St., just before 6 a.m. Oct. 24. Seven people were in the home at the time of the fire, but only six people were accounted for when authorities arrived, according to arrest documents.
During firefighting operations, a body was found in the living room of the home.
