Hall County investigators are trying to determine what started a deadly fire that burned down a residence in Gainesville on Wednesday morning.
Crews from Hall County Fire Rescue responded to the blaze on Odell Street just off Jesse Jewell Parkway around 7:30 a.m. A trailer on the property was fully engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived, according to a statement from the Hall County Sheriff’s Office.
Once they were able to subdue the flames enough to enter the trailer, they found the body of a man living inside. He was identified as 52-year-old Patricio Villalobos Morales by the Hall County deputy coroner.
There did not appear to signs of foul play, the coroner said. Authorities are trying to find out where and how the fire began.
