Authorities have identified the man who lost his life in a tragic apartment building in South Bend just over 24 hours ago. A little after midnight Monday morning, fire broke out in the 400 block of West Madison. Just minutes after arriving, firefighters found 51-year-old Richard Gaska unconscious in a first-floor bedroom. Gaska was rushed to Memorial Hospital but died a short while later. Several other people were left homeless. Investigators say the blaze started on the porch but by the time emergency crews got there, the fire had spread inside the two-story apartment house.
