Two men were killed early Wednesday in a house fire in Douglas County, authorities said.

The fire was reported about 6:30 a.m. at the home on Villa Lane, Douglas sheriff’s spokesman Lt. Glen Daniel said. Fire crews found the men dead.

Foul play is not suspected. No identities or details were available, and the investigation continues.

The bodies will be taken to the state crime lab in DeKalb County for an autopsy, said Glenn Allen of the Georgia Department of Insurance.
