Atlanta fire investigators Wednesday were trying to determine what sparked a house fire that left a man dead.

The blaze broke out overnight at a home on Tiger Flowers Drive in northwest Atlanta.

Atlanta fire Assistant Chief Ken Byers told Channel 2 Action News that burglar bars on the windows and doors of the house "impeded our progress getting inside the structure."

The Fulton County Medical Examiner's office identified the victim as 54-year-old Francis Bassey.
