DETROIT (FOX 2) - A man was found in an upstairs bedroom of a burning house in the 14200 block of Killbourne Street on Detroit's East Side Sunday morning.

The fire remains under investigation, according to Detroit Fire officials. 

Officials say it appears to be a squatting situation, with power to the house being provided illegally and no gas hookup.
