Officials say three other residents escaped the Stone Road home fire

A teenage boy was killed over the weekend in a fire in Millbury, Massachusetts.

The Worcester County District Attorney's Office said Monday that a fire had been reported at a Stone Road home shortly after 9 p.m. Saturday. The body of the victim, a boy who lived at the home, was found in the rubble of the living room.

The victim was later identified as 15-year-old James Belanger, according to the district attorney's office.

Officials say three other residents escaped, but one suffered burns to his face and arms when he was using a fire extinguisher to try to put out the fire.

An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause and manner of Belanger's death.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
