A lot of smoke could be seen coming through the roof of the house. Firefighters appeared to have gotten the flames under control before daybreak.
Later in the morning, Montgomery County Coroner Dr. Michael Milbourne said that a body was pulled from the home and that an autopsy would be performed to determine the cause and manner of death.
