A disabled man was found dead in his conservatory today after a blaze broke out in his bungalow.
The man, believed to be aged in his 60s, was discovered by a postman delivering his mail shortly after 11am at Church Close, Antingham, near North Walsham.
Police officers, paramedics and fire crews were called to the scene by a neighbour.
Fire crews from Mundesley and North Walsham found the fire was out by the time they arrived.
