A man from Middle Island has died after being seriously injured in a house fire, Suffolk County police said Tuesday.

The victim, identified as Arthur Ziomek, 79, was found inside his burning home on Monet Court by first responders on Nov. 20. 

Police said Seventh Precinct officers and firefighters responded to the home following a 911 call reporting a fire at 8:12 p.m. They said Ziomek was taken to Stony Brook University Hospital. On Tuesday, police confirmed his death.

Ziomek is at least the 10th person to die in a house or apartment fire on Long Island this year.

Preliminary indications are that the cause appears noncriminal, police said. They are asking for anyone with information to call the Arson Section at 631-852-6024.
