Man who died in Arlington Heights fire ID'd

The Cook County medical examiner's office has positively identified the man found dead after an Oct. 6 house fire in Arlington Heights as 68-year-old Wayne Dziubala, county spokesman Frank Shuftan said Monday.

However, a determination of Dziubala's cause and manner of death is still pending further investigation, Shuftan said.

The fire in Dziubala's home on the 1600 block of West Waverly Court also hospitalized a 30-year-old woman at Loyola University Medical Center, while another 68-year-old female resident was treated and released from Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights.

The predawn fire was largely confined to the entryway and den area near the front door of the house and extinguished within about 10 minutes of firefighters' arrival, authorities said.
