Grand Forks Man Hospitalized After Fire Dies

A Grand Forks man who was hospitalized after a fire at the polka dot painted house on University Avenue has died.

40-year-old John Rodney Dillon Davis was at Regions Medical Center in St. Paul in critical condition after the fire nearly two weeks ago. He died as a result of those injuries. The fire department says the blaze was accidental, caused by the improper use of smoking materials.
