The fire in an asylum seekers accommodation in Nördlingen has now been put out. One person died. Did a child cause the fire?

After a fire in one Asylum accommodation with one dead and several injured, the police see a five-year-old boy as a possible culprit. Initial investigations indicated that the boy had been playing with a lighter at the accommodation in Nördlingen, Swabia, the police said. Apparently the furnishings in the apartment caught fire and the fire then spread to the other apartments.

After the fire on Sunday, a 64-year-old reportedly collapsed on the premises and later died in hospital. The man lived in the neighboring house and, according to initial findings, was not in the property, the police said. It is therefore conceivable that his death had no direct connection to the fire. An autopsy should provide clarity.

The number of reported injuries rose to twelve on Monday. The police said those affected suffered, among other things, smoke inhalation and external injuries. Some of the injured were treated in hospitals. The investigation into the cause of the fire continued on Monday. For this purpose, the location of the fire should, among other things, be examined more closely.
