A fatal flat fire is not believed to have been started intentionally.
A man died after being rescued from a bedsit during the blaze in Dickens Road, Wolverhampton, at about 01:00 GMT on 30 December, said West Midlands Fire Service.
Thirteen other residents had managed to escape from the three-storey building before firefighters arrived.
The fire service said investigators believed the blaze started accidentally because of an electrical issue.
It had said the fire broke out in a second-floor flat.
