Officials say a man has died after he was injured in an apartment fire in Richmond Heights Friday afternoon.

The man had been unresponsive when he was found on the third floor of Loganberry Ridge Apartments, according to authorities who attempted to revive him. He died Saturday at a local hospital, and his name has not yet been released.

Five other people are currently being treated for more minor injuries. The fire apparently began in an elevator car on the third floor, but the exact cause is not known at this time. Most of the damage was confined to a hallway.

The blaze was confined to the third floor and affected eight apartments, while residents on all other floors were allowed back inside. The Red Cross is assisting those who have been displaced.
