A 67-year-old man who was rescued by firefighters from a home blaze earlier this week has died, according to officials.

Middleboro man Nathaniel Williams, who was pulled from his burning house by firefighters on Monday night, has died as a result of the injuries he sustained in the fire.

“On behalf of the entire Middleborough Fire Department, I want to express my heartfelt condolences to the victim’s family and loved ones,” Middleboro Fire Chief Owen Thompson said in a statement on Wednesday.

Firefighters on Monday night responded to 6 Locust St., a two-story home in South Middleboro, for a report of a house fire.

As firefighters arrived about 6 minutes later, the home’s first floor was fully ablaze.

Neighbors soon told firefighters that they believed Williams was still in the home. Firefighters “conducted an aggressive search” and found Williams near a side entrance.

Firefighters rescued him, and he was then transported by a Coastal Medical Transportation ambulance to Rhode Island Hospital, where he later died. He had suffered burns and smoke inhalation.

The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will determine the cause and manner of death.

The origin and cause of the fire remain under investigation by Middleboro Fire, the Massachusetts State Police Fire and Explosion Investigation Unit attached to the State Fire Marshal’s Office, and Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office.
