The man, who lived in the condominium where the fire took place, was identified as James Whitmer, 70, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office and public records.



Crews found the body in the living room area on the upper level of the homes, which are three stories each, Langford said. He was dead on the scene and no one else was injured.



Langford said the fire was confined to the living room area, and the cause was under investigation.



There was no structural damage to the unusually shaped stone building with slanted roof.
