Fire scene death appears to have been from gun shot

The Oconee coroner says the preliminary investigation at a Long Creek fire scene indicates a 66-year old man died of a self-inflicted gun shot wound.  Coroner Karl Addis’s announcement does not identify the deceased by name.  The man was found in a bedroom at 199 Grace Lane.  An autopsy is scheduled today.  Meantime, Sheriff Mike Crenshaw says the investigation of how and why fire broke out at the mobile home has so far been inconclusive, although multiple agencies are investigating.  Addis said the fire occurred in another part of the mobile home.
