Two men were working on a Range Rover in that garage when the smoke and fire erupted.
One man ran across the street to call for help, and the other went to find his wife.
The wife managed to escape the home, but the man was found dead inside.
Firefighters brought the blaze under control in about a half hour.

One neighbor was overcome with emotion. "It's sad, just sad, I'm sad, very sad. He's a hard working good man, good boy, he do everything for me," said Howard Mammie of Upper Darby.
