A house fire appears to have killed actor Per Oscarsson, a giant of Swedish film who won a best actor award in Cannes in 1966 and appeared in films based on Stieg Larsson's "Millennium" trilogy, apparently died in a house fire with his wife, the Associated Press reported Sunday.
The remains of one person were found Sunday in the ashes of the house and are probably those of the 83-year-old actor or his wife, 67-year-old Kia Ostling, said police spokesman Jan Strommegard. Both were reported missing by their relatives who say the couple apparently was home when the fire destroyed the house early Friday.
The building is located in a remote area outside the small town of Skara in southwest Sweden.
