Paramedics said they transported the woman to a trauma centre.

The victim, who was later identified as Maryna Kudzianiuk, was pronounced dead in hospital. Officials said the fire was deemed suspicious.

Police sources later told Global News homicide detectives were investigating.

Coun. Jim Karygiannis, who represents the area, said he was told by the building superintendent the victim was not the tenant.

“The only thing I was told is that she doesn’t reside in the building, she was visiting,” he said.

“My condolences to the family and my prayers are with them.”
