The person died sometime Friday, after they had been found around 10:15 a.m. that day seriously injured, East Brooklyn Fire Chief Bill Skene said.
Skene said firefighters responded to a medical call and LifeStar flew the victim to a Rhode Island hospital.
Connecticut State Police on Monday were unable to confirm the person had died, but did say the incident remained under investigation. The agency said bystanders helped put out the fire and the victim had sustained only “suspected non-life-threatening injuries.”
There was no further information on the incident as of Monday afternoon.
