A male was found dead inside a Clayton house that was on fire, the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office said July 26.
The sheriff’s office, in a Facebook post, said it responded to the 2900 block of Oakridge Road at about 9:35 a.m. July 26 for a report of a residential fire.
When the first officer arrived, the roof of the house was on fire and the house was filled with smoke. After putting out the fire, firefighters found the male’s body inside the house, the sheriff’s office said.
The male’s identity is known, the sheriff’s office said, but wasn’t immediately released. The fire remains under investigation.
