Fire kills squatter

A raging fire gutted a three-story Bronx building early yesterday and killed an apparent squatter, authorities said.

Flames began tearing through 1991 Morris Ave. in Mount Hope at about 1:45 a.m. Firefighters found the body just before 3 a.m. in a second-floor room.

The FDNY is investigating. The city medical examiner will perform an autopsy.
