A 3-11 alarm fire broke out in southwest suburban La Grange early this morning, killing a man and landing another person in the hospital, officials said.


Firefighters rushed to a home in the 900 block of Kensington Avenue about 1:30 a.m., said Captain David Rapp of the La Grange Fire Department.


A man in his 90s was transported from the home to Adventist La Grange Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 3:32 a.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
