A Brighton man credited with repeatedly entering the burning three-family residence where he lived with his large family and with helping residents to escape died Thursday morning after he apparently became disoriented and could not reach a basement exit, fire officials said.

Boston Fire Commissioner Joseph Finn said the man was not reported missing until after firefighters conducted a primary search and accounted for everyone believed to be living at 105 Murdock St.

But as the four-alarm blaze spread from the first-floor kitchen, where a Fire Department spokesman said it was sparked by an electrical short circuit, to the third-floor unit where the man lived, firefighters were informed that he might be missing, Finn said.
