Old Saybrook and Clinton fire crews assisted with the blaze.
The fire was mainly contained to contents in a room, which made it easy to put the fire out, officials said.
Neighboring units are still habitable, but access to heat may need restoration, officials said.
Officials have not identified the victim, and it's unknown how they died at this time. Officials did confirm, however, that the victim appears to be a man who has lived there for a while.
