Kentucky State Police investigate Columbia house fire death

COLUMBIA, Ky. (AP) — Officials are working to identify a person who was found dead in a Columbia house fire.

Kentucky State Police Det. Clint Walker says in a news release that police were notified Sunday afternoon that a body had been found in ruins of a town house in Columbia.

The day before, the Adair County and Columbia fire departments had responded to a vehicle fire at the same address. It wasn’t until the next day that the owner of the town house returned to the residence and located the body.

Walker says the body has been sent to the Kentucky State Medical Examiner’s Office for autopsy and identification.

The investigation is ongoing.
