A man died Sunday night in a fire at his home in Lake in the Hills.

Crews responded about 9 p.m. to the 900 block of Creekview Lane in the northwest suburb, and firefighters found the 61-year-old in an upstairs bedroom, according to the McHenry County coroner’s office.

Arthur W. Knutson was taken to Centrgra Hospital in Huntley, where he died within the hour, authorities said.
