IRELAND, W.Va. (AP) — The bodies of four people were found Monday inside the remains of a burning home in West Virginia, and a suspect later was found dead by suicide in a separate location, authorities said.
The fire occurred in the Lewis County community of Ireland. In a statement, state fire marshal’s office spokesperson Tim Rock didn’t specify how it started or give other details about the investigation.
In the Kanawha County community of Hugheston, about 110 miles (177 kilometers) southwest of Ireland, sheriff’s deputies found the body of a 45-year-old man inside a vehicle. The vehicle was parked outside the home of the man’s relatives, who called authorities when he initially knocked on their door, the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
Deputies confirmed with Lewis County authorities that the man was a suspect in the fire. Rock said the Kanawha County sheriff’s office is handling the investigation surrounding the man’s death.
