The police and Fire Service are still looking for clues as to what happened at the block of terraced houses in Panmure where the 57-year-old lived.
Fire Service staff said earlier that Mr Harrison may have slept through his smoke alarm.
The fire was a small, smouldering blaze that created a lot of smoke, causing several apartments to fill with smoke and prompting many people to flee the building.
A post mortem has found Mr Harrison died as a result of the fire.
