The man who died in a blaze at a tower block in Easton in Bristol was killed when he fell while trying to escape the blaze, police have confirmed.
A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said that the deceased man, who has not yet been named, is 'believed to have fallen from the 16th floor as he tried to escape the fire inside the flat'.
Eye witnesses have reported two other men in the flat managed to scramble along the outside edge of the building to neighbouring properties, but a third didn't make it and tragically fell to his death below.
