A 52-year-old man pulled from his burning Port Jefferson Station house by Terryville firefighters Monday night was pronounced dead at a hospital, Suffolk County police said.
Police said Gerald Berberich was unconscious when volunteers pulled him from the home on Davis Avenue after responding to the call at 10:07 p.m. It was not immediately clear where in the home Berberich was found.
Police said the cause of the blaze does not appear to be suspicious. However, the incident remains under investigation by Homicide and Arson Squad detectives, police said Tuesday.
Police said Berberich lived alone and no one else was in the home during the fire.
