ROSEMOUNT, Minn. — Gene Spurzem, 46, has been identified as the victim of an early morning house fire that occurred on Dec. 2, according to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner.
Rosemount Fire Chief Rick Schroeder says engines were dispatched to the home on the 14000 block of Blaine Avenue South just after 2:30 a.m.
When crews arrived they encountered heavy smoke and flames in the lower level of the structure.
Two people on the upper floors managed to escape, but Spurzem on the lower level was pulled from the home and taken to Regions Hospital. Two days later, he died from his wounds.
At this time, there is no word as to how this fire may have started.
