Everett Fire unable to Determine Cause of Fatal Christmas Eve Storage Unit Fire

Undetermined. That’s the final word on the Christmas Eve Fire at “The Storehouse”, 3816 Smith Avenue in Everett. The body of 31-year-old Matthew J. Paulsene was found in a storage unit at that complex and the Snohomish County Medical Examiner ruled he died of smoke asphyxiation and ruled the cause as accidental. Everett Fire Marshall Rick Robinson tells me officials have closed their investigation.
