An apartment engulfed in flames in Korçë claimed the life of the home’s owner, 72-year-old Urim Hysolli. At this stage, public information is based mainly on preliminary data and the claims of neighbors, while the full circumstances of the incident remain to be clarified.
The victim was the owner of the apartment
According to information reported so far, 72-year-old Urim Hysolli died in the fire and has been identified as the owner of the apartment in Korçë.
Full official details on the sequence of events have not yet been made public, leaving questions over how the fire spread and under what conditions the victim was at the critical moment.
A couple was also living in the home as tenants
According to information available so far, a couple was also living in the apartment as tenants. According to this version, Hysolli had returned about two months earlier and had asked the tenants to vacate the home.
The couple, according to the source material, had asked for time to find another house. During this period, the owner is understood to have been living in one of the apartment’s rooms.
Neighbors’ claims about the days before the incident
Neighbors claim that the 72-year-old consumed a large amount of alcohol. They also say that two days before the incident he had tried to start a fire in the home while under the influence of alcohol.
These are claims by neighbors and not official conclusions about the cause of the fire. So far, there is no full public information confirming whether the episode mentioned is directly linked to the fatal incident.
The circumstances remain to be verified
The incident once again raises concern about the institutional response and timely verification of situations reported as dangerous in homes, especially when previous fire attempts are involved.
However, without a full clarification from the authorities, any version about the causes must be treated with caution and attributed to the relevant sources.
For now, what is known is that a 72-year-old man lost his life in the apartment fire in Korçë and that there had been worrying signs before the incident, according to neighbors.
