(KNZA)--A residential fire has claimed the life of an elderly Seneca man.
85-year-old Shirley Dwight Cleland died Saturday at the Burn Unit at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas from injuries received in the fire Friday morning at his home at 120 East North Street.
Cleland was trapped inside his burning home and had to be rescued by the Seneca Fire Department. Another individual escaped through a back bedroom window.
