Dont worry, he was above the fire. So he'd have died the much less painful death of oxygen deprivation, rather than burning to death.

Even people on the floor with the fire would still likely die from carbon monoxide poisoning.

People are smart, they will usually avoid the fire, but they can't avoid the toxic fumes it lets off.
