Forty-six-year-old Matthew Thompson passed away and Allegheny County Police are holding an investigation to find out how he died and why he was inside that home at that time. The fire occurred around 1 a.m. Saturday at a house along Perryville Avenue. It is unclear at this time how the fire started. A GoFundMe page, which can be accessed by clicking here, has also been started to collect support for the Davis family, who lost their home in this fire and St. Stephen’s Church in Sewickley is collecting donations for them. The church asks that you note “hardship assistance” in the memo line.
