The man who died after a fire at the Tri Towers apartment complex Saturday night in Duluth has been identified.
Peter Pocan, 56, was severely burned as a result of an accidental fire in his apartment that started when a lit cigarette fell onto the couch where he was sleeping. After initial treatment at Essentia St. Mary’s Medical Center, he was transferred to Regions Hospital in St. Paul. He died there a short time later.
