Man Visiting Parents in Maine Dies in House Fire

An Anne Arundel County man visiting his parents in Maine died Monday in a fire at their Kennebunk home, which had no smoke detectors, officials say.

Kyle Szlosek, 25, of Glen Burnie, died from smoke inhalation when he was trapped on the second floor of his father’s home, reports WMTW TV.

His brother, Jonathan Cressey, 31, of Suffolk, VA, jumped from a second-floor window and pulled their father from the first floor to safety. Paul Szlosek, 62, was being treated at Maine Medical Center for smoke inhalation.

Heavy smoke and heat kept firefighters from reaching Kyle Szlosek.

Investigators said either smoking or a malfunctioning computer caused the fire in the downstairs living room.

The brothers had traveled to Maine to visit their mother, who is in the hospital.
