Man Found Dead In Burning Fort Worth Trailer

FORT WORTH (AP) - Firefighters who answered a call about a blaze near a North Texas restaurant have discovered a body in a burning semi-truck trailer.

Fort Worth authorities say the fire early Tuesday appears to have been accidental.

Investigators are trying to determine if the man found dead was a homeless person who had been known to stay in the parked truck trailer. The cause of the fire has not been determined. The restaurant was not damaged.

Forecasters say temperatures in the Fort Worth area were in the low 50s around the time of the blaze.

Further details were not immediately available.
