(August 13, 2008)—A fire that investigators think started accidentally claimed the life of a Hill County man Wednesday morning.
The man’s wife discovered the fire when she returned home just before 8:45 a.m. Wednesday.
The Hillsboro Fire Department, Whitney EMS, Hillsboro police and Hill County sheriff’s deputies responded to the scene, less than a mile east of Hillsboro on State Highway 22.
Hill County Justice of the Peace John Milligan pronounced the man dead at the scene and ordered an autopsy.
Investigators think a cigarette may have sparked the fire.
The name of the victim was not immediately released.
