An early morning fire at a Winnipeg bathhouse has killed two people, including a popular local drag queen.

Steven Yablonski, also known as Kerri O'Kee, died when a fire broke out at Aquarius Bath just before 7am on Oct 11. The other victim of the blaze has not yet been identified.

'A REALLY FUN GUY.' A Facebook group has been set up in remembrance of Steven Yablonski, also known as Kerri O'Kee.
"Steve was a really fun guy to hang around with," says David Fox, a bartender at Gio's, a Winnipeg gay bar where Yablonski performed. "He's here pretty much every day of the week so it's going to be weird not seeing him walk through the door anymore."
