The Delaware State Fire Marshal's Office says one man is dead after a fire broke out at a Newark home.

Firefighters were called to a home in the 400 block of Feather Drive on Thursday night and found smoke pouring from the home.

The fire marshal says firefighters found a 61-year-old man unconscious on the second floor.

He was taken to Christiana Hospital, where officials say he died a short time later. 

Deputy fire marshals are investigating the cause of the blaze. Damage is estimated at $50,000.
