A man found critically injured after an apartment fire at Trump Tower in New York City on Saturday has died, police said. President Donald Trump, first lady Melania and their son, Barron, were in Washington, D.C., a spokesperson said. The Fire Department of New York commissioner earlier said that firefighters found the occupant of an apartment on the 50th floor and he was transported to a hospital and was in critical condition. "The apartment was virtually entirely on fire" when firefighters arrived after an automatic alarm shortly after 5:30 p.m., Fire Department of New York Commissioner Daniel A. Nigro said. Firefighters "pushed in, heroically," and found the occupant, he said.
