(CBS) -- One man died in a house fire Friday afternoon in west suburban Berwyn.
WBBM's Bob Roberts reports.
Police and firefighters arriving at the three-story frame dwelling at 3309 South Home Avenue found flames shooting from the roof and windows and heavy smoke.
Firefighters were unable to conduct a search until the fire was brought under control, during the noon hour.
That turned up the severely burned body of a man believed to be the home's 64-year-old owner, John Anderson.
The Medical Examiner's office will need to make a positive identification.
Police said the fire is not believed to be suspicious. Hoarding may have been a factor, officials said.
