The Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau on Tuesday publicly confirmed the identity of the Livermore man who was pronounced dead at the scene of a house fire last month as Felix Domondon, 72.
The circumstances of the deadly fire remain under investigation, including the cause of Domondon’s death and what exactly sparked the flames that engulfed the standalone house on Westminster Way early in the morning on May 21.
The Livermore Police Department, which is the lead investigative agency, reported no new updates in the case as of Tuesday afternoon. The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department deferred comment to city police.
Responding to emergency calls, LPFD crews arrived around 5 a.m. May 21 to find a large volume of fire in the garage that had extended into the residence of a single-family house on the 2400 block of Westminster Way, near the Lambeth Road intersection, deputy fire chief Jason Solak said at the time.
Firefighters found a man — later identified as Domondon — unresponsive inside the home, but efforts to revive him outdoors were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead at the scene, according to Solak. Domondon was the only human in the home at the time, but firefighters did locate a dog inside who had died during the fire.
The cause of the fire, as well as an exact point of origin, were not immediately clear that day, according to Solak. The house sustained heavy damage.
