NEW YORK (AP) — A man and a teenage girl have been killed in an apartment building fire in New York City.

It happened just after noon on Sunday at a seven-story apartment building in the Bronx.

Police say a 61-year-old man and a 13-year-old girl were found unconscious and unresponsive. They were taken to a hospital, where they were pronounced dead.

It took firefighters about an hour to get the blaze under control.

The cause remains under investigation.
