A man killed in a house fire in King's Lynn died as a result of misadventure, an inquest has concluded.
Chris Flegg, 40, died on January 14 last year when a fire broke out at his mother's house on Alive Fisher Crescent.
Emergency services were called to the property after a neighbour noticed flames coming from a first floor window.
Speaking at the time, neighbour Liam Stevens said he entered the house with another man and found Mr Flegg's mother in a downstairs bedroom.
While they were able to rescue her, they were unable to go upstairs to save Mr Flegg as the smoke was too thick.
An inquest in Norwich this morning heard how Mr Flegg died from severe burns and carbon monoxide toxicity.
He was found dead at the scene by emergency services.
Norfolk coroner Jacqueline Lake concluded that his death was the result of misadventure.
