Man Dies in New Jersey Mobile Home Fire

One man was killed when a fire broke out inside a mobile home in central New Jersey.

Monmouth County prosecutors tell the Asbury Park Press that 56-year-old John Gordon died in the fire on Aster Lane in Howell Township. But a cause of death has not yet been determined.

The fire was reported shortly before 10 p.m. Friday and was extinguished in about 30 minutes. Investigators say the blaze apparently started in the kitchen area, but the cause of the fire remained under investigation on Saturday.

Firefighters found Gordon's body shortly after they arrived on scene.

No other injuries were reported in the fire.
