Tragedy in the Trakai District: Body of a Severely Burned Man Found in a House Ravaged by Flames

A severely burned body was discovered in a house that was engulfed in flames in the village of Salikininkai, prompting an investigation into the cause of the fire.

A tragic incident occurred in Salikininkai village, where firefighting teams were alerted to a house fire at 1:56 PM. The flames ravaged the wooden one-story building, with fire engines from the fire protection and rescue departments deployed to control the situation. Rescuers reported that they noticed the fire and smoke from a distance before arriving at the scene, indicating the severity of the blaze.

Upon extinguishing the flames, the firefighters discovered the body of a man who had suffered severe burns inside the house. The exact cause of the fire is currently being investigated, with initial assessments suggesting that it could have resulted from careless handling of fire. Given that the house was unoccupied, it is possible that a homeless individual had been residing there, unbeknownst to the owners.

The property owners have been informed of the incident, likely indicating they were unaware of any unauthorized habitation. The police will initiate a preliminary investigation to determine the cause of death and ascertain if the man may have been a victim of foul play, although there is currently no evidence to suggest the house was deliberately set on fire.
