A man in his sixties has died in a house fire in St Helier.
Emergency services were called to a property in Seaton Place at around half past midnight.
Police have confirmed there was one fatality, but not given any further details at this stage.
An investigation is underway into the cause of the fire, but officers say there are no suspicious circumstances at this time.
